Trader Joe’s mini canvas tote bags will be back in stock in April, with new pastel shades available.

Trader Joe's mini tote bags are back stores, but you'll need to act fast if you'll want to get one of the year's hottest accessories for yourself.

Lines stretched around the block around the country in anticipation to buy the new blue, pink, purple and green pastel colored bags.

According to a company spokesperson, the bags are supposed to return this week, but when that is will vary from store to store.

A Trader Joe's employee in Los Angeles told NBCLA customers should check their for stock in the morning as early as possible, and that the bag often sell out by noon. The employee also said stock will likely be sold out by the end of the week.

Customers can buy up to four bags each, one in each color.

The bags first appeared last year when the Instagram account '@traderjoeslist', dedicated to highlighting notable products from the store, posted about them.
