Amelie Mancini Carry On Tote Bag - Shingles

As soon as I laid eyes on this Amelie Mancini Shingles oversize tote bag, I knew I needed it in my life! The perfect companion for long weekends away, a schlep to the post office, festivals or a long day out, which with the UK climate can require a rain mac, jumper, woollen hat, sun glasses or an umbrella at any given moment.

Each design is carved by Amelie onto a block of linoleum and then used to create a repeating pattern which is burnt onto a screen. She screen prints the patterns onto fabrics with water based non toxic inks and then the fabric is cut and sewn into a variety of products by Amelie in her Brooklyn studio.

From start to finish, each product is made by hand from the initial drawing to the final assembling, using traditional techniques and natural materials. The immense care put into each product creates objects to fill people's lives with thoughtfulness and elegance.
Dimensions: 43cm x 50cm
Material: Natural linen with brown leather straps and base.
Other: 100% cotton canvas lining and brass rivets.
Care: Wipe clean with a damp, soft cloth.
