Trader Joe's to release new 'large canvas bag'. Here's what we know.

Get ready, grocery fans, because Trader Joe's highly coveted tote bags are set to return to stores with an all-new color.

Nearly a year after the release of its mini pastel canvas tote bags had people lining up at their local Trader Joe's as if it were Black Friday, the grocery chain is planning to add a new, calming style in a bigger size.

Nakia Rohde, a Trader Joe’s spokesperson, confirmed to USA TODAY on March 11 that the "next new bag will be a large canvas bag with lavender handles and a pink logo." There will not be a specific day the totes arrive in all Trader Joe’s stores nationwide, she added.

Rohde did not have an image available to share of the new bag, but the description builds on two colors Trader Joe's used in its pastel mini canvas tote bags that released in 2025.

Mini pastel tote bags to return for spring

Shoppers can also expect the return of the pastel mini canvas tote bags this spring. Rohde confirmed to USA TODAY that the $2.99 bags will hit stores in mid-March, with availability varying by location.

The bags will return in the same colors as last year, including what the company calls delicate pink, baby blue, mint green and lovely lavender. Measuring about 13 inches long, 11 inches tall and 6 inches wide, the mini bags are ideal for small shopping trips, the retailer said on its website.

Last year, the mini bags were released at Trader Joe’s locations nationwide in April.

The coveted mini tote bags first gained popularity in March 2024, when Trader Joe’s released the bag in primary colors red, green and blue, and have since sold out quickly with each drop. Shoppers were so excited about them that they waited in long lines to snag one. At some stores, employees had to limit the number of bags customers could purchase.
