Description

Each Takes Heart tote is an original work of art, handpainted by artist Laura Crossley alongside members of the Takes Heart movement. Inspired by the courage, creativity, and resilience of women in business, this tote carries more than just your essentials – it carries a story of empowerment. Bold brushstrokes in vibrant pinks, fuchsia, greens, blues, purples, and yellows blend together in a dynamic, abstract expression of energy and possibility. A final stroke of metallic gold adds an elegant shimmer, symbolizing resilience, success, and the powerful connections that help women thrive.

Born from Takes Heart – a movement that began with an interactive public art piece for Kansas City’s Parade of Hearts – this tote embodies the mission of celebrating and uplifting women+ entrepreneurs. Takes Heart is a platform for visibility, connection, and opportunity. The bottom corner of each tote proudly displays TakesHeart.org, inviting you to discover inspiring stories, support women-owned businesses, and join a community dedicated to moving all women forward.
