Chin Lee NYC 1931 Vintage Matchbook Tote Bag

In the 1930s, New York City, supper clubs were all the rage as city dwellers would go out for dinner and stay to dance the night away. Chin Lee’s was more than happy to cater to this need, and by prominently stating what they were all about in blinking yellow lights – dinner and dancing. With no cover charge, Chin Lee’s was a hot spot for anyone looking for a hot bowl of authentic chop suey, strong drinks, and a night of dancing. This tote design is taken from a genuine vintage matchbook, making for a truly unique design that you won’t find elsewhere.

Like all our designs, this one is treated with our signature ‘relic-ing’ process which includes our own secret recipe of hand-painted chipping, cracking, fading, and just the right touch of yellowing to ensure that it looks the part of a true vintage imprint.** We lay these works of art down on our premium cut and sew tote bags via state of the art direct to garment (DTG) printing which allows us to create a vintage effect that simply can’t be accomplished with other printing methods. This practical, high quality tote bag is available in three sizes, so it’s easy to find the perfect one for just about any need, whether it’s on the beach, on the town, or just another day in the office.

Our tote bags come in three convenient sizes ranging from 13″ to 18″ square.

**Due to the nature of the printing process and different sizes of bags offered, imprint position and scale may vary slightly from the product images, but we do our best to be as accurate as possible.
