La Patate

The La Patate shopping cart icons.

La Patate uses a large, brown shopping bag illustration for its cart icon. When an item is added to the cart, the icon updates to include a sign sticking out of the bag detailing how many items are in the cart. La Patate uses a similar icon for its “Add To Cart” button, depicting the same brown paper bag filled with colored packages. The use of this icon variation throughout the site helps tie together the design.

Atom Bicycles

The atombicycles.com shopping cart icon.

In addition to having a nice “hand-drawn” feel, the Atom Bicycle cart icon stands out even more by being placed on a bright orange paint strip. While many sites use “hand-drawn” icons, this icon’s placement and color choice really make it stand out.

Chank

The chank.com shopping cart icon.

Chank also uses a nice hand-drawn shopping cart icon, which is personalized even more by the “A” that appears if one or more fonts is added to the cart.

General Robots

The General Robots shopping cart icons.

The General Robots site has a beautiful cart icon that fits nicely with the site’s overall theme. This icon is only visible once an item has been added to the cart. But I would like to see this nice icon even when the cart is empty.

Spunky Bubs

Threadless

The threadless.com shopping cart icons.

Threadless uses a great little cart icon that has a sad face when the cart is empty and a happy face when an item is in the cart. Not only is this a great custom icon, it fits with the site’s spunky personality.

Di Bruno Bros

Di Bruno Bros uses a wicker picnic basket for its cart icon, a good choice for an online gourmet grocery retailer. When an item is added to the cart, the picnic basket is filled with bread, cheese, and wine – a nice personal touch.

Majestic Wine Warehouse

The Majestic Wine shopping cart icons.

The Majestic Wine cart, or “trolley,” depicts 12 bottles of wine that are “filled in” as bottles are added to the cart. This unique cart depiction is both personal and helps to remind customers of the 12 bottle minimum purchase.

The Keedo shopping cart icon.

Keedo uses a shopping cart icon that looks like a child has drawn it. This fits nicely with Keedo site, which is designed to look as if it is on a piece of paper pinned to a bulletin board.

The Godiva cart icon mimics the actual shopping bag given to customers in the Godiva stores. When an item is added to the cart, a chocolate box appears in the shopping bag icon.

The nineteen47.com shopping cart icon.

Forty Seven is another site that uses a hand-drawn cart icon, this time displayed on a piece of paper pinned to the site’s wood-style header. While this custom cart icon fits nicely with the site design, I would like to see an indication of when items are in the cart.
