Trader Joe's Sets June 17 Drop for New $2.99 Striped Mini Totes

Limited supply coupled with recent legal action against counterfeit sellers signals likely fast sellouts and heavy resale activity.

Overview

  • Trader Joe’s announced the striped mini canvas totes will be sold in stores starting June 17, 2026, priced at $2.99 and offered in four pastel stripes: pink, blue, green and brown.
  • Each bag measures about 13 inches by 11 inches by 6 inches and is made from a 65% cotton/35% polyester heavy‑duty blend with a pocket on each side.
  • The company warned supplies are limited and past launches of the viral mini totes have produced quick sellouts, long customer lines and local purchase limits.
  • Resellers have driven secondary‑market prices far above retail on platforms such as eBay and Mercari, with international listings on Coupang, Depop and Karrot sometimes showing extreme markups.
  • Trader Joe’s has filed a lawsuit targeting sellers of knockoffs and says it only sells products inside its stores to ensure authenticity, a move that could reduce misleading online listings but not stop immediate resale pressure at store drops.
