- A new rumor claims Trader Joe’s Micro Totes could return later this spring in soft pastel shades.
- The Instagram post says the Micro Totes would arrive after the rumored large purple insulated bag.
- Fans are already begging for a fair shot this time, especially people who never saw the last drop in-store.
Trader Joe’s shoppers love a lot of things: affordable snacks, easy-to-grab meals, and turning tote bags into a competitive sport. Which brings us to the latest rumor that’s already got people planning their next TJ’s run despite having a completely full fridge.
According to an Instagram post from @traderjoesobsessed, Trader Joe’s Micro Totes (the tiny zip pouches that stash a reusable bag inside) may be coming back in pastel colors sometime closer to spring. The post says the timing would be after that rumored large purple insulated bag that’s been making the rounds lately, so you don’t need to throw your shoes on and get in the car just yet.
The post also includes a mockup created by @kei.canvas, and honestly, it looks pretty on point. It’s the same general Micro Tote silhouette people remember, just swapped into soft seasonal shades that feel tailor-made for gift baskets, purse clipping, or just collecting because Trader Joe’s customers do not know how to be normal about bags.
The comments section is basically a roll call of need and want. People called them “too cute,” said they “can’t wait to purchase,” and joked they never even saw the last version. As with any TJ’s rumor, nothing is real until it’s real. But if you’re the type who still regrets missing a previous tote moment, this is your gentle nudge to stay alert.
