3D “We Hold These Truths to Be Self Evident” Zipper Tote Bag - Royal Blue

This classic Americana white puff ink tactile print combines bold 18th century typography with raised tactile braille. This is a very similar font that was used in the first printed version of the Declaration of Independence. A circle of 13 large five-pointed stars frames the entire design, creating the look of an early American flag - inspired by the spirit of 1776 and, of course, the 13 original colonies. 

At the top left and right corners of the print, the years “1776” and “2026” mark the 250-year anniversary of the United States. Beneath each year is a line of raised braille dots, adding a tactile reading element that complements the 18th century fonts. 

Centered in the middle of the print, the famous and powerful phrase from the Declaration of Independence is stacked in dramatic vintage-style lettering:

“WE HOLD
THESE TRUTHS
to be
SELF EVIDENT
THAT ALL MEN
ARE CREATED EQUAL”

Each section of text is paired with tactile braille underneath, allowing the message to be experienced both visually and through touch. The combination of distressed colonial-inspired lettering and raised puff ink creates a striking and authentic dimensional effect.

Below the main statement is a horizontal divider with a centered star, followed by the words:

“UNITED STATES
Of AMERICA”

Again, accompanied by tactile braille beneath the 18th century authentic wording.

The entire print is designed in clean white puff ink for a bold raised texture that stands out. The tactile surface gives the artwork depth, accessibility, and a handcrafted feel while maintaining a strong patriotic presentation. 

We used our white Plastisol ink on this tote bag to ensure the bag lasts for years. This tote is 15 inch by 20 inch full zip canvas bag with a folder bottom so it can sit upright and a zip pocket on the inside as well! It has generous straps, so you can swing it over your shoulder.

Do not wash bag.
