Sac fourre-tout Max Mayfield

This tote bag prominently features Max Mayfield on the front, who is a bold and memorable character introduced in Season 2 of Stranger Things. Max, played by Sadie Sink, moves from California to the small town of Hawkins with her emotionally abusive stepbrother, Billy Hargrove. She quickly makes an impression on the group after showing off her skills at the Palace Arcade, where she earns the high score under the nickname “MadMax.” At first, the boys are skeptical of her, but Max proves she’s more than capable of holding her own, eventually becoming a trusted and important part of the friend group.

Max is known for her fearless attitude, sharp wit, and skateboard skills, but she also brings emotional depth to the series. She forms a strong bond with Lucas Sinclair, leading to one of the show’s first young romances, and shares a powerful friendship with Eleven. Their relationship, first shown in Season 3, helps Eleven explore normal life, girlhood, and self-confidence outside the lab.

One of the most emotional and iconic scenes involving Max takes place in Season 4, when she becomes one of Vecna’s targets. As she faces haunting visions from her past, her friends help pull her back from the brink using her favorite song, “Running Up That Hill” by Kate Bush. The scene—set against the haunting music as Max runs from Vecna’s twisted world—became one of the most talked-about moments in Stranger Things history.

Max Mayfield in Stranger Things is a standout character thanks to her bravery, loyalty, and emotional complexity. She’s not just a cool skater girl—she’s a survivor, a friend, and a fighter. Her evolution from outsider to hero has made her a fan favorite and an essential part of the Stranger Things universe.
