Our newest Grounds bag is now finished and available in our Etsy shop! Today, I'm going to take you on a tour of the For Export Only tote bag and share a few more photos beyond what you see on Esty.
This large tote is made from a thick, flat weave coffee sack that came with a purple accent twine weaved directly into the burlap fabric. One side of the bag contains the print "For Export Only" in bold, black letters (hence the name of the bag). The second side of the bag displays a beautiful, distressed black print with a graphic design in the center. I'll admit that it's difficult to see what the graphic print actually is on the burlap, but the words "organic" and "arabica" are legible. It's the first design of it's kind for the Grounds collection.
The interior of the bag contains three pockets to secure your goods - two slip pockets and one zipper pocket. The pockets are lined with a brown and white woven upholstery fabric that I came across on a fabric shopping adventure. The bottom exterior of the bag is accented with this same fabric. It's heavy weight, and it works well to keep the square shape of the bag.
As I mentioned earlier, this bag is large. The dimension measure 21" by 13" with a 3" wide bottom and 34" straps. It's a great bag for carrying large items, like books or a tablet or laptop, along with everyday items.
Seeing that it's back to school time, the For Export Only tote would be perfect for carrying books and an iPad around campus this autumn.
I hope you are enjoying your last few summer days! We're busy creating the next new bag already - think polka dots!
Thanks for dropping by -
