Finally! The first batch of sling totes is up in the shop! I’m way excited about how they turned out, and if I didn’t think it were completely uncouth to do so, I’d probably admit that I want to keep them ALL for MYSELF! But, well, it might be more advantageous to sell them so’s I can pay rent + not have to become a bum.

I wanted to show off some shots of the sling totes modeled, so that you are able to get an accurate sense of scale. I designed these totes to be ROOMY. I really hate finding that perfect, cute tote in all the best colors and then find out that it is actually only large enough to fit a paperback book into. Not this tote. This ‘un will hold all your junk. and your lunch, to boot.

And the sling! The sling is my bestest friend. I love just about any bag that I can sling across my chest and go. It might have something to do with my overly rounded shoulders {do those exist? or is this all in my imagination?}. I am just no good at keeping U-handle straps to stay on my shoulder. But, I will say, that unless you are a round-shouldered freak like me, even my sling strapped tote will stay up on the shoulder and does not have to be slung to be worn comfortably + stylishly. Anyway, I digress.

So, there ya have it. Six sling totes { some linen, some canvas } are now up in the shop for your perusal. I sure hope you find one that you love, but if you don’t, you can always convo me or check out the listing in the shop for a custom tote.

Hello, all! Just a little note to let you know that I am slowly but surely making progress on the stack of linen + canvas sling totes I’m working on for the shop. But these guys are somewhat fiddly, and since I’m making 10 at once, they’re taking longer than expected. I thought I’d entice y’all with a little peek at how they’re coming along–i am REALLY happy with them! The only thing left to make are the straps–yay! Stay tuned . . .
