Tote Bags

All of my totes have fabric handles that are polypro webbing covered with coordinating fabric.  All the fabrics will have some sort of coordinating print, accent and button.   The interior of each bag is fully line.  I put two interior pockets on each side of the bag.  Both styles have a zip closure.     Both sizes have exterior pockets.  The medium has 3 zip exterior pockets; the large has 4.  The Large bag can be ordered with 2 exterior pockets that zip and 2 that don't.  This style is perfect as a "Mom" bag, making easy access for bottles, toys, etc. that don't need to be in a zip pocket but need easy access.    

Mom Bag -- Approximately 12highX15wide in size with a 8x15 inset bottom.  Making this a great, roomy bag.  

I will always try to make the bottom from some coordinating color of "Pleather".  This adds additional durability to the bag.

 Medium Tote - The traditional shoulder bag or purse size.  approx. 11X12.  3 inch bottom.  Exterior zipped pocket.   One 32" strap (measured from end of strap to end of strap).  I'm going to make the strap adjustable on this bag this year.  It will be 32" at it's shortest length and go up to 64" so it can be worn across the body as a messenger style.

The Barbara Bag -- I get many requests for a little bag that is what I would call a "purse".  This is a bag that is carried with a short handle.  It doesn't slip over the shoulder.  I struggle with this style because I don't really like to carry it myself, but I know it is popular.  In 2008 I lost a dear friend named Barbara Meserve to Lung cancer.  She was such a wonderful lady, so full of life.  She was a big supporter of my work and a great source of encouragement to me.  As soon as I finished this little purse, I knew that Barbara would have loved it.  She really liked my smaller shapes.  So in honor of Barbara Meserve -- the Barbara bag is making its debut.  I hope you like it.  Recently I had a friend who wanted the bag but with a long strap -- so I made one for her.  She loved it, I loved it.  Soooo, the Barbara bag is also available with a long 50'' adjustable strap.

Computer Tote - This is the only bag in my line that I don't actually make the bag.  I buy these computer bags, (approx. 11 1/2 X18 with a 4 inch gusseted bottom) from a great women owned company in New Hampshire that makes them from recycled cotton and plastic bottles.  I add my own covered adjustable strap and embellish them with vintage fabrics.  It's a nice price point for a computer tote keeping to the recycled theme.  The adjustable 2 inch strap is 60 inches long so it can easily be worn across the body.
