Trapper Keeper Inspired “Horse Edition” Reversible Tote

Trapper Keeper “Horse Edition” Reversible Tote - By Mamacita Totes – Carry Your Crap with Class™

Inspired by one of the most iconic school supplies of our childhood, this one-of-a-kind tote is handmade using custom-printed fabric modeled after the original Trapper Keeper binder — remember the ones we used to carry everywhere with our Pee-Chee folders and gel pens?

This version features the unforgettable galloping horse binder cover — a true 80’s-90’s core memory for so many of us. And yes, I made it into a fully reversible tote with a fun notebook-paper-style lining (peep the inside!), so it feels like the real deal — down to the iconic Velcro sound when you open it. Yep… THAT sound.

This tote was born from the overwhelming love for my original Pee-Chee folder bag. So many of you shared memories and stories — and the Trapper Keeper kept coming up in conversation. So I thought… let’s bring it back.

Highlights:

• Handmade from upcycled + custom-printed fabric

• Reversible design – it's like two bags in one

• Interior lining features a notebook page motif

• Durable webbing handles in a classic 80s brown

• Finished with that signature “rriiippp” Velcro-style closure

• Perfect size for everyday use, errands, or even as a statement gift

• No patterns used – every single bag is completely unique

🧵 Made by a real mom, not a factory – I'm not a professional seamstress, just a working sports mama who finds joy (and sanity) in sewing when I can. Every tote is made by hand, by me, in the few free hours I get. This is my creative outlet — and I pour love into every stitch.
