There is provided a convertible tote bag and seat cover combination having a tote bag configuration and a seat cover configuration. The convertible tote bag and seat cover includes a first wall section, a second wall section, and a floor section connected to the first wall section and also connected to the second wall section. Attaching means such as snaps, zippers, buttons, or hook and loop fasteners are affixed to attaching regions of the first and second wall sections. The cover configuration is converted to the tote bag configuration by attaching these reciprocal attaching means, and conversely, the tote bag configuration is converted to the seat cover configuration by removing the reciprocal attaching means. Elasticized handles may be positioned on the tote bag, and these handles can be repositioned in the seat cover configuration to serve as straps. The seat cover with straps can thus advantageously be used in recreational functions such as providing a seat cover for a golf car, a seat cover for a boat seat, a cover for a picnic table, a beach towel, a ground cloth, and the like. Thus, the convertible tote bag and seat cover also provides the dual function of carrying recreational items and then providing a cover at the place of recreation.
