Major retail chains are saturated with mass-produced goods that can be found in all corners of the country. Finding something that makes you feel good and gives you a sense of community is hard to come by at times. That is, of course, until you find that one local company that has a curated store full of bags and accessories that inspire hometown pride. 

Let’s shine the spotlight on The Rooted Plow. 

Pouches and Totes

Because we all have a unique set of tastes and preferences, having a variety of pouches and totes to choose from is a must. Here are a few highlights for those who hold New England near and dear. 

The Iconic Cotton Pouch

Represent your local community with this pouch made of 100% cotton canvas fabric with navy print. 

These pouches are the perfect size for cosmetics, chargers, headphones, cell phones, pens and pencils, sunglasses, keys, passports, and more. Use one for traveling, at school, or take it with you wherever life takes you. 

Rope Handle Jute Tote

Made from natural vegetable fiber, these totes are not only practical and adorable, but they are reusable and recyclable, too. Something you can feel good about sporting as you show some Ridgefield or North Salem hometown pride. 

Extra Large Market Tote

Sometimes you just need a big tote to carry all the goods— and this is it. Showing off the Cass Gilbert Fountain and Ridgefield’s 06877 zip code, you can take it with you anywhere, including the beach, the gym, the farmers market, and more. 

Made of durable, heavy 12oz cotton canvas, it is built to last. 

Extra Large Black Jute Tote

This classy Connecticut jute tote is very roomy. It has a canvas front pouch with a velcro closure, as well as a waterproof lining. It is sure to last as you take it with you all around New England and beyond. 

Must-Have Accessories

Bags are a stellar way to show off your love for the community you call home, but they surely aren’t the only way. Hats, jewelry, and keychains can also keep you rooted. Below are just a few of the many options offered by The Rooted Plow. 

Baseball hats. Canvas baseball caps come with adjustable back straps and cotton hometown embroidery for a finished look.  

Beanies. Branded 100% acrylic knit beanies embroidered with the Cass Gilbert fountain or horse and rider are great for the cooler months and come in multiple colors, too. 

Bracelets. Ceramic cord bracelets, Nutmeg tree leather wrap bracelets, and sterling silver bracelets, all marked with a piece of home, can be perfect for showing off hometown pride. 

Keychains. Iconic wood-cut keyrings branded for New York or Connecticut are handcrafted by a woodworker in Idaho. They are truly something to cherish. 

Why Hometown Pride is So Important

Your hometown and the stories that stem from it are woven into the very fabric of its community— and who you are. Life may have taken you to places far and wide, but there is no denying you will always have a sense of yearning for where you came from. 

Having hometown pride is important. It means being proud of those who share the love of community, including the heritage, landmarks, and traditions found locally. It also means supporting local companies who are trying to craft an identity in local-inspired gifts while focusing on sustainability and ethical sourcing. 

Whether you live in New England today or you just hold the memories dear, when you purchase a tote from The Rooted Plow, you get to carry a piece of home wherever you go.
