TEKA ORIGINALS 2025 PRESS RELEASE

_______________________________________________________________________________

A sarcastic tote bag for caffeine addicts who refuse to deal with humans until the coffee hits.

There are mornings, and then there are mornings. The kind where the alarm doesn’t just ring, it feels like a declaration of war. The kind where your eyes won’t open, your brain is two hours behind, and everyone around you insists on speaking at full volume as if they’re auditioning for a Broadway show you never bought tickets to. That’s when this tote bag isn’t just an accessory—it’s a shield.

The Coffee First – Screaming Later Tote Bag was designed for the survivors of the morning battlefield. For the ones who know caffeine isn’t a drink, it’s a life force. For the sarcastic souls who believe humanity would collapse if coffee suddenly disappeared. And for the people who don’t have the patience to explain, every single day, that they are not functional until the first sip has settled into their bloodstream.

This tote does the explaining for you. It’s blunt, bold, and honest—the way your mornings feel. One look at the message and strangers, coworkers, and family members alike will understand: proceed with caution until the cup is empty.

Cultural Significance & Modern Trends

A Bag That Speaks Your Truth

This isn’t some dainty accessory with polite little flowers on it. This is sarcasm stitched into eco-friendly cotton. It’s a walking billboard that says: “I’ve had enough of small talk before caffeine.” You don’t have to shout at anyone in line at the café, because your tote does it for you. The bold lettering, the unapologetic punch of humor—it’s therapy in print.

And let’s be real. Coffee culture is no joke. For centuries, coffee has been the great equalizer, the common ground between empires and exhausted parents, between students cramming for exams and CEOs staring at another endless Zoom call. It’s been smuggled, traded, fought over, and celebrated. It’s not just a beverage—it’s the fuel of revolutions. This tote carries that spirit forward. It’s rebellion you can sling over your shoulder.

Built for Function, Fueled by Sarcasm

I could tell you it’s durable (it is). I could tell you it’s eco-friendly (it absolutely is). But that’s not the story. The story is that this tote can handle you. Your groceries. Your gym gear. Your laptop. Your emotional baggage. And it looks damn good while doing it.

Here’s what it delivers:

• Durable Cotton Canvas: Thick enough to haul your life without ripping.

• Eco-Friendly: Reusable and sustainable. Because plastic is trash—literally.

• Spacious Design: From books to avocados to an entire gallon of iced coffee, it fits.

• Bold Print: “Coffee First – Screaming Later” doesn’t fade, doesn’t crack, and definitely doesn’t whisper.

• Foldable & Portable: When you’re not using it, it disappears into your purse, glove box, or backpack.

The Morning Struggle, Now Branded

Think about how many times you’ve walked into work and someone asked, “Rough morning?” No, Karen, it’s not a rough morning, it’s every morning. This tote prevents conversations you didn’t want in the first place. It signals to the world: respect the ritual. Coffee first. Then, and only then, are you ready to scream, laugh, or attempt the circus act that is adulthood.

And it’s not just about mornings. Imagine showing up at the farmer’s market with this tote. The barista sees it, laughs, and adds an extra shot to your latte. The vendor hands you the freshest fruit because clearly, you’re in no mood for bruised apples. Even the cashier at the grocery store will know to keep the chit-chat short. It’s social armor disguised as humor.

Humor Meets History

The tote bag itself has its own legacy. Born as a practical tool for sailors in the 17th century, it was never meant to be fashionable. But like coffee, it rebelled against its original purpose and became something more. Tote bags became cultural statements—symbols of environmental consciousness, creativity, and protest. And this one? It’s a protest against mornings. A protest against empty coffee pots. A protest against anyone who dares ask you for a favor before you’ve even had a sip.

This isn’t just a tote. It’s a continuation of centuries of caffeinated defiance.
