Trader Joe’s mini tote bags went viral in 2024
In March 2024, the mini totes became so popular that customers waited in lengthy lines to get their hands on them. Viral videos on TikTok showed frenzies and long lines at the stores, where employees were often forced to limit how many bags customers could purchase.
The “mini canvas tote bags certainly sold more quickly than we anticipated,” Trader Joe’s representative Nakia Rohde told USA TODAY in March 2024. “Before we had the opportunity to promote them in any way, customers across the country found them at their neighborhood Trader Joe’s.”
The overwhelming hype led people to list the bags for as much as $500 on online marketplaces like Facebook and eBay. At the time, Trader Joe’s made it clear that it was aware of the resellers, adding that it was “done without our approval or authorization and outside the controls of our quality-minded supply chain.”
The company continued, “To be clear, we neither condone nor support the reselling of our products and do all we can to stop the practice.”
