This bag is currently on display in the Winter Threads Exhibition at the Weigh Ahead Gallery, Dunblane. It is available to purchase directly from the gallery until 10th January 2026 and is not available to buy online at this time.

This adaptable, beautifully textured square tote bag is as versatile as it is unique. Handmade with care, it can be styled in two distinct ways — with or without the detachable lining.

With the lining in place, you have a structured, secure everyday tote complete with a zipped inner pocket for valuables. Remove the lining and the crocheted net pattern offers a relaxed, lightweight market-bag style, giving just a glimpse of your contents without anything slipping out.

The tactile texture is a joy — the raffia twine gives firmness and a gently rustic feel, while the variegated wool creates a subtle shifting of colours for a soft woolly look. Despite its softness in appearance, the bag is sturdy, with a “crunchy” firmness that’s lovely to touch.

Each side offers a different mood:

• Autumn tones of browns, white and grey

• Summer tones with a white base, greys and beiges

The sides and strap have a black raffia base with a blend of browns, greys, and white — everything ties together perfectly.

Practical and stylish, it features a wider base and tapered sides, long adjustable crocheted strap for shoulder or crossbody wear, three decorative wooden buttons on each side, and a top zip closure.

Large enough to carry a laptop and other daytime essentials, this is the perfect bag for the beach, city, market, or travel.

This bag is a one-of-a-kind creation — a true wearable work of art.
