Know before you buy
Measuring 8 x 3 x 5 inches, the bag is sized to hold standard cosmetic bottles, brushes, or small art supplies. It is compact enough to slide into a larger tote but spacious enough to serve as a standalone organizer for your daily essentials.
The top zipper features small tabs at each end. You can easily clip a crossbody strap or tie a decorative scarf through these loops to carry the bag on its own.
Yes, the organic-cotton canvas is designed to be flexible yet sturdy. Because it is a textile-based bag, it is best suited for light to moderate daily use, such as holding toiletries or personal items.
Because each bag is hand-embroidered by a specific artisan, every piece is unique. You may notice slight variations in the cross-stitch pattern, which is a hallmark of the handcrafted process rather than a defect.
We recommend spot cleaning the organic-cotton canvas with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid machine washing to preserve the integrity of the hand-embroidered cross-stitch detailing.
