bonavìs creates small, permanent desktop totes shaped like shopping bags.
We start with a form people already love and keep — shopping bags that hold memory, culture, and place — and translate it into a permanent object meant to stay in view.
The result replaces disposable, vibe-breaking containers with something lasting — an everyday object that preserves the tone of a space rather than interrupting it.
Containers are designed to disappear. bonavìs is designed to be seen.
A bonavìs tote is a small, rigid desktop container shaped like a shopping bag. It’s designed to hold everyday tools in view — from pens and brushes to glasses and personal essentials.
What it holds beyond that is up to you.
Each bonavìs tote is produced in small batches in Pennsylvania, USA, using contemporary production techniques and finished by hand where it matters.
Its creation is deliberate, not mass-produced.
