Tote Bags

Medium - Large & Small Totes

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.  I will try to have an example of each fabric made into a bag so you can see the coordinate on-line.  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.  Vintage fabric bags will be noted with .  

Large Tote - 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).

Mom Bag -  I've been working on this design for many years.  I think I finally have it just right.  This bag is big and roomy it features an exterior zipped and unzipped pocket.  I've been told by Mom's that the exterior open pocket is nice for a quick bottle retrieval.  (The same bag as the Large tote except with two of the exterior pockets open insteaded of zipped.  The strap is wide and adjustable.  It can go over the shoulder; across the body or on the back of the stroller.  The bottom is Pleather to protect it from the elements.  The interior features my standard many pockets as well as one that zips.

New for 2009 -- 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.
