A small word that carried an entire city.

Inspired by the iconic New York “Thank You” bags that disappeared from corner stores and bodegas across the city, the SHUKRAN™ Tote reimagines a familiar everyday object through an Arab diaspora lens.

What once carried groceries, coffee, lottery tickets, and late-night essentials now carries stories, memory, identity, and movement between worlds.

Printed on durable cotton canvas and designed for everyday use, this tote is a tribute to the neighborhoods, shopkeepers, families, and communities that quietly keep cities alive.

Part of the Arab Hyphenated™ Summer Collection.

Made between worlds. Carried everywhere.

Product Story

For decades, New Yorkers carried the same bag.

It was never designed to be fashionable. It was practical. Disposable. Everywhere.

Yet somehow it became part of the visual language of the city itself.

The SHUKRAN™ Tote draws inspiration from those iconic bags while replacing “Thank You” with the Arabic word for gratitude.

A simple translation becomes something larger—a reminder that immigrant stories have always been woven into the fabric of American cities.

From Brooklyn bodegas and neighborhood markets to family-owned shops across the country, generations of immigrants helped build the places we call home.

This tote honors those communities and the everyday people who keep them running.
