Market Tote Bag

Each Market Tote Bag is unique and now you have the chance to have a versatile handmade bag of your own! Made from up-cycled vintage cotton saris and lined with plastic from repurposed rice bags, this bag was handmade by a local Indian woman using the kantha stitch, which is an embroidery style that originated in West Bengal and is stitched into the very fabric of its culture. The repurposed rice bag lining makes the Market Tote Bag waterproof and very handy for carrying swim clothes, drinks, and makes a great beach and gym bag!
