Well, the pattern may be the same but every time I make one of these bags, the whole effect is so different depending on the fabric & handles that I put on. This Garden tote was made from recycled ,vintage, waxed canvas hunting tents. That faded gray & blue has such a summer feeling & for me, I just love the lived in feeling of the fabric. For the linings I tend to go in the opposite direction & put a bright pop inside. The leather handles can be removed so it can all be thrown in the wash.

Hello – I am from Toronto and a good friend of bKris Sustronk – I fell in LOVE with her Tent bag when I saw it and LOVED the Army green and red bag you made – Would you ever make one so I could parade it proudly around TO – if so I would love one – I am sorry I did not get to meet you when I visited Kris and Phil last summer !! Your work is lovely …

Hi Lisa- I’m missing my friend Kris here this summer! Glad to hear the bag is getting used though. I have some more of the tent totes with numbers on them, (I have 3,6 & 5 available) They are all slightly different. If your interested, I can send a pic. Next time your in Boulder, stop by!
All the best, Elke
