Slingin’.
The first handful of my new linen sling totes are finished! It’s taken me a bit of time to perfect these pretty Zakka-inspired totes, but I am finally happy with the design. Which means you can expect to see them popping up in my shop very soon. And if you want one, you won’t even have to go sidling up to me on the street corner all shifty-eyed + avoiding the 224. Just a few clicks in the s h o p. Nothing illegal, I swear. {I love you, The Wire, bestest show ever.}
I’m really proud of the design + I’m hoping there will be interest in these great + handy little totes. I really love using tote bags on a daily basis, but I’m not a huge fan of too-small totes or totes with the U-handles, particularly when they don’t have a drop that is large enough to comfortably keep up on one’s shoulder. I’ve designed these totes to be practical, ergonomic + comfortable to, well, tote around everywhere you might go. The totes are roomy + capable of holding all of your purse essentials + whatever else you might want to carry around with you. Books, folders, your lunch, etc. And the strap is wide + lined with cotton fabric, and it can be positioned to sling across your chest or sit comfortably on your shoulder. This is my most favorite feature, because I can’t seem to keep purses, bags, or totes on my shoulder. I love that I can just sling this baby on and go!
I’m still waiting on a re-up of supplies to start really cranking the sling totes out, so there is only one in my shop right now {at a great sale price, too!}, but that will soon change, I promise. And if you are interested in a linen sling tote {I’ll soon be playing around with sturdy + heavy canvas for market/library totes, too} of a particular color/fabric combination or drop/handle length {for those of you über-tall folks}, feel free to drop me a line. Custom orders are always happily accepted.

sigh. everything is so pretty… me wants a bag, esp. one that can hold my i-need-to-carry-everything-with-me-all-the-time purse sturdiness issue (one handle on the owl bag is starting to come loose! I’m clearly carrying too much junk). Next time you reload your shop, lady, i want one!

Congrats on the shop and the new blog, it’s all so gorgeous! As soon as I have some $$ to spend, I’ll be ordering a custom sling with a longer strap (tall+big boobs=custom sling). I love everything!
