Introducing the vibrant Nightclub Map Tote Bag by the Harlem Design Co. Now reimagined in color, this iconic design brings new life to E. Simms Campbell’s witty illustrations and personal annotations. His map captures the electric energy radiating from Lenox Avenue—Cab Calloway lighting up the Cotton Club, Bill “Bojangles” Robinson tap dancing at the Lafayette Theater, and the lively scene at Club Hot-Cha, “where nothing happens before 2am.” Bursting with personality and color, the tote also features the spirited “café au lait girls” of Small’s Paradise, Gladys Bentley in top hat and tuxedo at her Clam House, crooners at the Radium Club, and Campbell’s own favorite spots like Tillie’s (“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 colors on this bag are so much more vivid in person than on screen, and the canvas feels sturdy enough for daily use. I’ve been carrying it to work all week and the map print still looks as crisp as the day it arrived.

    Steven M. ★★★★★

    The vintage illustrations and handwritten notes on this bag are such a fun conversation starter, and the colors make the whole thing pop. It’s roomy enough for my daily haul, and the canvas feels sturdy without being stiff.

    Robert ★★★★★

    I’ve been carrying it everywhere since it arrived—the vintage map artwork gets compliments every single time. The canvas is sturdy enough for my laptop and groceries, and the color version makes those witty little annotations pop in a way I didn’t expect from the photos.
