Totem Bags

About

School bags that go the distance.

Totem Bags is a South African brand specializing in high-quality, ergonomically designed school bags for kids and teens. Built for comfort, durability, and style, their backpacks are developed with orthopedic specialists to support growing bodies and active lifestyles. Totem’s collections combine practical features with bold, youthful designs—making them a trusted choice for families across the country.

The Problem

Busy parents shopping for their kids on Totem’s site had no clear path to the right bag. With no strong direction from the homepage or navigation, shoppers were left to bounce between pages, guessing their way through the range instead of browsing with purpose. Product cards and navigation weren’t doing enough of the heavy lifting to help them decide. Totem’s brand had also evolved beyond their outdated Shopify theme – it was time to update the look and make the path to purchase smoother.

What We Did

The Solution

We gave shoppers a clearer way in. A new mega menu brings structure and visual direction to navigation, while redesigned product cards surface key details at a glance. Parents can compare bags without digging. On product pages, we reorganized information to answer the questions that matter most, making it faster and easier for busy families to find the right fit and buy with confidence. The new update brought Totem’s site onto the most recent Shopify technology, refreshed their look and feel and made navigation smoother for busy shoppers.
