I kept looking at this bag online and when it went on sale at Macys I just couldn’t resist!
They really are great, aren't they? I have this in the bright green with Rexy charm and it is a great all purpose bag. I even use it for work when I want to downsize for the day.
The green with rexy is my first one. I love it & snagged flax, after seeing your pic, Tomsmom! I never liked large totes before because I don't like when they sag. I know there are base shapers but they can be $$.
So, don't laugh, but while in Homegoods, I spied a set of 4 thin cutting "sheets". I say sheets because they are very thin, maybe the thickness of a nickel, but firm. The pack came with Gray, black, green & red. They fit the bottom of the market tote well (not perfect but good enough) & the set was $5!
Anyway, I love them & just thought I'd share this unorthodox idea!

. I almost bought the green but the flax won out.Great idea! I use cardboard. For the Coach bags, I used the box it came packed in and cut out the part that says 'Coach'. I trim it to fit the bottom of the bag then cover it with self laminating sheets. It may be cardboard brown on the bottom of the bag, but it has the Coach name and / or logo on it. I wanted something like you got, but never found any and wasn't sure what it was called so I couldn't search for it, so I resorted to cardboard.The green with rexy is my first one.

I use cardboard in many bags. Mostly ones that don’t get much use.
I order base shapers from PurseBling on Amazon. They come in most sizes, but you’ll need to use a tape measure that has centimeters.
I will heed the advice on using either cardboard, or a base shaper, so thank you! I just ordered a Market Tote in black to use for my accordion file folder. I liked the Rogue Tote with the whipstitched handles, but the smaller handles would have been a nuisance over time. The Market Tote is just easier to dump some stuff into and go! I couldn't fit my folder into the Rogue 39. I would have needed a Rogue 40 or 41. LOL.
