For a very large one, I might try interfacing or using a tyvek type tote as the basis, but I do not like the 'puffiness' of batting for a tote (personal preference), nor do I like the 'hard' look of wonder under type bonding (again, personal preference).
Ditto! I made a large tote last January with heavy duty Wonder Under applied to the base to help protect it when I set it down. I should have made that base extend 3" instead of 1" up the sides!
