Tote Memory Bag
Fiona’s handcrafted Tote Bags are designed to give a second life to the large-scale fabrics that have filled your home. From the curtains that watched your family grow to the beloved dog bed that was a favourite resting spot, Fiona transforms these textiles into a spacious accessory that’s ready for a brand-new chapter.
Home textiles are often made of high-quality, heavy-weight materials designed to stand the test of time. This makes them the perfect candidate for a hard-working tote bag:
Family Curtains: Those beautiful curtains from a childhood home or a first house. Their weight and weave provide a fantastic structure for a large cavernous bag.
Cherished Dog Bed Covers: Our pets are family, and sometimes we aren't ready to say goodbye to the things they loved most. Fiona can take a high-quality dog bed cover and transform it into a tactile, sentimental tote that keeps that bond close to you every day.
Room for Everything: Because these fabrics are usually available in larger quantities, Fiona can create generous sized totes that are perfect for everything from beach trips to farmers' market hauls.
Due to the size of the bag only large textiles are possible to use to create these bags. So a top or a pair of tweed trousers will not be large enough for this bag. Curtains and upholstery fabric are the perfect material for making this style of bag.
