Our best-seller is the regular size tarot bag. It's a basic, classic cotton single cord drawstring bag.

It fits most standard sized tarot cards (3" x 5" or less). Some commonly known example decks that fit in this size bag are the Rider-Waite Tarot, the Aquarian Tarot, the Shadowscapes Tarot, Tarot of a Moon Garden ... pretty much the majority of tarot cards.

Regular size bags measure approximately 5 inches wide by 7¾ to 8 inches tall (12.7 x 20 cm)

The double draw tarot bag is the newest addition to the Tarot Totes collection. It features a two cord drawstring top that creates a 1" ruffle when pulled closed. It also features gusseted (squared) corners on the bottom of the bag to better fit a deck of cards or a boxed deck.

If you prefer you can opt for a double draw bag without a ruffle too, just note this in the comments section when placing your order.

Double draw bags measure approximately 4½ inches wide by 7½ inches tall (11.4 x 19 cm).

Small bags are slightly smaller versions of the regular bags. They are great for playing card sized decks and for those decks labeled "pocket" size.

Small bags are approximately 4½ inches wide by about 7 inches tall (approx. 11.4 cm x 18 cm).

These make great rune pouches and are ideal for mini decks, healing stones & crystals, and even work as a small digital camera bag or change purse!
