I designed these bags for Pop&Scott to package their beautiful swings when sending them off to customers. The bag needed to be big and strong enough to hold a large, heavy hardwood swing but I thought it would be great if it could somehow be made small enough to be used as an everyday tote. So I came up with this design which folds into itself. These bags are a slightly smaller version of that original design.

When folded the bag is a great, roomy shopping tote, but extended to full height the bag is large enough to take everything you’d need for a weekend away.
Sewn with heavy duty 10 oz natural cotton canvas using durable french seam construction on my trusty 1956 Singer 201K named Madeleine. The bags have double folded canvas handles on the bottom and strong cotton twill handles at the top.
Hand dyed by me using natural indigo (from the legume plant Indigofera Tinctoria). Each bag is submerged several times in the indigo vat to build up the depth of colour. As these bags are hand made each one is unique and the dye pattern will vary slightly.

Dimensions (folded): 33cm high x 37 cm wide.
Dimensions (full height): 60cm high x 37cm wide.
