Ladies tote bag crocheted, natural

By nature, a totebag wants to be nothing more than just that, namely a carrier bag: in colloquial American English, "tote" means "to carry, transport". This totebag is therefore already of a sincere nature in terms of its functionality, but it also impresses with its production from renewable natural materials: the hard-wearing, tear-resistant fibers of cotton and hemp - which puts any plastic bag in its resource-saving place. As if that wasn't enough, the bag is artfully crocheted. The base and upper edge of the bag are crocheted in solid stitches, while the middle section has a light and airy shell pattern - which should not detract from the tote bag's carrying capacity. The long handles made from double crochet stitches are folded into a double layer and crocheted together with a solid edge so that they lie smoothly and softly in the hand or on the shoulder. This attractive tote bag will not only be a reliable companion for pragmatic shopping, but also for a fun outing to the café or bar ... or hanging.

Behind the Danish label Care By Me are designer Camilla Gullits and her business partner Pernille Pold. Their designs combine Danish design and the traditional craftsmanship of India and Nepal, as their aim is not only to offer high-quality and durable clothing and home textiles, but also to produce them in a resource-friendly and fair way. In Nepal, for example, handmade textiles make up a large part of the national economy and, as in India, the production of textiles is traditionally in the hands of women. Care By Me therefore works with small workshops where women can learn and practise the traditional craft in order to provide them with a secure income. The new wool comes from the region around Kathmandu and is also spun there. The cotton used comes from controlled organic cultivation and Care By Me sources it from a GOTS and fair trade-certified partner company.
