This is Seki, the manager of FITTWO, an outdoor shop located in Ueno, Tokyo!
Today, I’d like to introduce the GROCERY TOTE MSNGR, a 2025 Spring/Summer new arrival from the American brand CHROME.
As the name “Grocery” suggests, this bag is perfect not only for carrying groceries and daily essentials, but also works great for business, travel, and a wide range of situations.
At first glance, it looks simple, but it’s packed with CHROME’s signature functionality and plenty of storage options. Let’s take a closer look at this highly practical bag!

[CHROME] GROCERY TOTE MSNGR
Specifications
This Grocery Tote comes in two sizes: Medium (15L) and Large (28L)!
Both models use a lightweight material with a distinctive crinkled texture. Even the larger size weighs under 1kg, making it feel surprisingly light for its capacity.
And of course, it features CHROME’s signature durable fabric, ensuring excellent durability.
The bottom of the bag is made with an extra-tough material to withstand contact with the ground.
Easy-to-Adjust Strap
When it comes to CHROME shoulder straps, most people think of their signature seatbelt-style buckles. However, this bag uses a lightweight and simplified plastic buckle on both the 15L and 28L versions!
The strap can be tightened by simply pulling on it, and loosened by lifting the buckle—super easy to use!
Unlike metal buckles, this one stays quiet—no clinking noises.
It also supports the use of an optional sub-strap (sold separately), which helps secure the bag tightly against your body when cycling or moving actively.
2-Way Carrying Style
There are small gaps at both ends of the main zipper opening, allowing you to tuck the strap inside and carry it as a tote by hand. These gaps also let you pass through items like battery cables or charger cords.
Versatile Storage Options
Let’s take a look at the storage features!
Both the 15L and 28L sizes share the same pocket layout, so we’ll use the 15L version for this walkthrough.
On the front, you’ll find three pockets. The center pocket is gusseted, making it perfect for storing bulkier items like bottles. It also includes a built-in magnetic button for convenient access.
The side pockets can also hold bottles, but they are not gusseted, so they might slightly reduce internal space when filled.
There’s also a strap across the front where you can secure a jacket or other outerwear.
The main compartment opens wide thanks to the soft and flexible fabric. Inside, you’ll find several built-in pockets.
One side features a padded sleeve that can hold a laptop up to 14 inches.
The other side has small accessory pockets, and there are bottle pockets on each side as well.
Summary
What did you think? CHROME’s 2025 new release, the GROCERY TOTE MSNGR, is a highly functional tote bag perfect for daily shopping and commuting, as well as travel, leisure, and even cycling!
Available in two sizes—15L and 28L—you can choose the model that best fits your lifestyle and the amount of gear you carry!
Despite being lightweight, this bag is also highly durable. Thoughtfully designed for usability down to the smallest detail, it’s a product that fully embodies the CHROME brand identity.
