Floral and Burlap Together - Clean, Sound, and New Tote

Hi and happy Monday! I hope you're having a great start to your week. For those of you in the upper midwest areas like me, I'm sure you are digging out today. Here just outside of Ann Arbor, Michigan we received at least a foot of snow and many business and schools are closed today so that we can all clean out. Over the weekend, my husband and I drove to Chicago to visit some friends and hit the storm yesterday on our ride home. It was eventful to say the least, but we are now home safe and very thankful to arrive back in one piece.

Today I'm excited to share a new large tote bag that I just wrapped up - the Clean, Sound, and New tote bag. Yes, the name is a long one, but once you see the detailed print on the burlap, you will understand the reason for the name.  This bag is one of our larger designs at about 20 inches wide by 13 inches tall. I chose an upholstery fabric to detail this bag's bottom and the two exterior slide pockets. This woven fabric is a beautiful black and beige design that works really well with the bold, black industrial type on the alternate exterior side of the bag, which is where the Clean, Sound, and New text is featured. The burlap bag used to create this originates from Papua New Guinea, and you can see a bit of that location on the printed side as well.

A lot of detailing went into this particular bag, specifically the 9" metal-tooth zipper pocket on the inside, the large slide pocket also on the inside, and the two slide pockets on the outside. There's definitely maximum storage capacity with this bag! Plus, it all seals up nicely with a magnetic metal snap closure.

This bag was a blast to make, and I hope you love it as much as I do! You can find it for sale in our Etsy shop here.

Also as an update to our last post, the Jute Mills cross-body zipper bag has sold on Etsy! It's no longer available for purchase, but if you would like a custom designed bag in a similar style, feel free to email me at linaandvi@gmail.com.

Stay warm (no matter where you are) and have a great day!
