Collection: Tote Bags

Every bag in this collection is an appliqué piece - fabric shapes cut and hand-stitched onto a background by women from marginalised communities, working within a fully women-run foundation. Trained in the craft, employed with dignity, paid fairly.

The bags are quilted from layers of block-printed cotton and constructed well enough to carry a laptop. Every stitch, every placement decision, made entirely by hand.
