Description
Stand out from the crowd with this funky and functional tote bag, which could be a purse, laptop bag, shopping tote, baby’s diaper bag, or an eye-catching way to carry papers and files to your next meeting. A working, zippered, exterior pocket offers a secure place for keys, money, or other valuables. The delightfully askew pocket is repurposed corduroy, and the bright, heavy-duty strap had an earlier life as a belt. The functional metal loops could hold an assortment of items close at hand with a lanyard or carabiner, and the strap is long enough for cross-body use. The pattern carries on to the inside and reverse. The 100% cotton fringed sides are as soft and luxurious as the inner and outer layers.

“Upholstery Selvedge” is a waste product from the industrial upholstery fabric supply chain in the USA where the discarded edges of commercially-made upholstery fabric that cannot be used in furniture manufacturing are sold in bulk to rug supply shops. It is highly durable, colour-fast, made with current home decorating colours, and available in a variety of soft textures. Making woven goods from this excess material turns something useless into a functional and fashionable home decor item and saves our earth from housing more garbage.
