This one-of-a-kind tote bag was entirely crocheted by hand using recycled textile tape yarn in fun and contrasting colours, in the granny square look. The tote bag is two-looks-in-one: the granny squares on either side are different in their colour combinations.
Lain flat, the tote bag body measures 24cm wide, and 28cm tall. If the tote bag is completely filled, the tote bag body could accommodate up to 10cm in depth, as crocheted fabrics are amenable to stretch.
The straps measure 11cm from their top to the tote bag body, and 35cm to the bottom of the tote bag. When carried, you can expect the bag to be about 35cm from the bottom of the purse to the top of the straps, plus or minus 2cm, depending on how full the bag is, and how heavy the contents are. In the photos where the bag is carried, the bag contained a phone, a wallet, and 3 notebooks, sunglasses in their case.
As you can see on the photos, there are "holes" in the pattern of the crocheted fabric, and these are large enough to accommodate a finger. Since this purse comes without a lining, I would recommend keeping smaller valuables (such as lip balm, pens, earrings) in a pouch when using this tote bag.
While crochet purses have a summer feel about them, I think this bag would be perfect pop of colour therapy in the colder days as we all start to wear dark-coloured coats and boots. You won't even have to worry about matching the colour of your bag to your shoes, since this bag is just screaming: I am a personality of my own! There is only one of this, so don't hesitate.
