Most tote bags are an afterthought.

They're flimsy, unlined and somehow never have anywhere to put the things you don't want floating around at the bottom.

I figured we could do better. This page is where they ended up.

AND STILL TURNING UP.

The bag I carry every day is the bag I sell. That keeps me honest.

This is still only the beginning.

To everyone who's bought a bag, gifted one, tagged one, or stopped for a chat at the stall. Thank you. None of this happens without you.

Simple totes. Made better.
