Luxury doesn’t have to be expensive. This is one of the many mottos that Tony Rey and Tony Dennis a.k.a. “Stitch” abide by with their new luxury tote bag brand, Tote&Carry. Tote&Cary is an affordable, luxury fashion brand that creates high-end fashion totes and delivers it to everyday consumers and even celebrities. With combined experience ranging from manufacturing and retail to working with corporate companies such as Adidas, Netflix, and H&M, both gentlemen exemplify and embody the spirit of creative power through fashion. Here is their story.

Tony Rey

How did experience play a role during the creation of Tote&Carry?

Experience was key in the development of Tote&Carry. Of course, many past failures helped us avoid any bad decisions in 2019–2020, minimizing cost at start-up and making executive decisions is crucial on the beginning stage of every brand.

When did you both discover that Tote&Carry was becoming prevalent in the scope of mainstream visibility?

When you show up at the airport, and you see the person in front of you, sporting the bags. Lol.

Tony Dennis

What made you guys decide to take a cost-effective, environmental-friendly approach with Tote&Carry?

The cost-effective approach was there because our financial resources were very limited. But through God’s plan, the environment-friendly was not a bad move when it came to mother nature. It’s a win-win situation for us.

How did you feel when celebrities (Snoop Dogg, Omarion) and major publications (Sheen Magazine, Travel and Leisure Magazine) start to recognize the brand?

It’s an amazing feeling to be featured, but we remain humble at all times. The road is still long ahead of us.

What’s next for both of you personally and Tote&Carry?

Global expansion for the brand, and personally, just trying to stay healthy and positive everyday. I wish the same for you and all the readers as well. Health is number one.
