New York Thirty-One Gifts Consultants

Thirty-One sold practical bags with a personal touch. The best-known piece was the Large Utility Tote, which the company called its all-time customer favorite. Around it sat smaller utility totes, zip-top organizers, thermal and cooler totes, travel bags, purses, pouches and storage bins. Nearly everything came in seasonal prints and could be embroidered with a name, monogram or short phrase. It suited shoppers who wanted to haul, sort and store everyday things, gift buyers who wanted a name stitched on, and anyone who liked buying from a friend at a party.
