Upcycled Wares

Scrap-fabric market tote

One of a kind

$28

One of a kind

Market totes pieced from upholstery samples, drop cloth, feed sacks and worn denim — whatever the fabric bin gave up that month. Double-stitched side seams, boxed bottom, and straps long enough to clear a shoulder with a jacket on. Each one is genuinely one of a kind.

Ingredient notes

Salvaged cotton canvas, denim and upholstery offcuts; cotton-poly thread. No new yardage bought for these.

Care & keeping

Machine wash cold, hang dry. Expect a little softening and fade — that's the point.
