Introducing the nightclub map tote bag by the Harlem Design Co. Campbell’s witty imagery and personal notes capture the excitement that radiated from Lenox Avenue with Cab Calloway singing at the Cotton Club, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson step-dancing at the Lafayette Theater, and the scene at the Club Hot-Cha, where “nothing happens before 2am”. Also included are spirited “café au lait girls” dancing at Small’s Paradise, Gladys Bentley in her top hat and tuxedo at Gladys’ Clam House, singers crooning at the Radium Club, and recommendations for his personal favorite hangouts, Tillie’s, where “the fried chicken is really good!”, and Log Cabin, “an intimate little spot”.

E. Simms Campbell’s Nightclub Map of Harlem has gained enduring cultural and historical interest and many accolades, and in 2020, Campbell was posthumously inducted into the Eisner Awards Hall of Fame, the pinnacle of recognition in the comic book industry.

It’s made from a durable cotton canvas that is sturdy and large enough for a 17 inch laptop, books and tablets, a large beach towel, and any other necessities for a perfect day. We designed this tote bag with you in mind hence the long shoulder straps, inside pocket for your keys, phone and lipstick, and gussied bottom construction which makes it perfectly expandable.

  • 100% cotton canvas
  • Includes a square inside pocket measuring 6.5”

    The printed map with Cab Calloway’s name and those handwritten-style notes makes me smile every time I grab it—it’s like carrying a little piece of Lenox Avenue history. The tote’s got good weight to it too, not flimsy at all, and the print hasn’t faded after a month of daily use.

    Matthew ★★★★★

    The canvas is sturdy enough to carry my laptop and a couple of books without sagging, and the printed map of Lenox Avenue with Cab Calloway’s name feels like a little piece of history every time I sling it over my shoulder. I’ve gotten three compliments on it already, and it’s only been a week.

    Alexander ★★★★★

    The vintage map detailing is spot-on—I keep catching new little handwritten notes every time I look at it. Bag feels sturdy enough for my daily commute with a laptop and gym clothes, no problem.
