MERCHANT & MILLS STURDY TOTE PATTERN
Merchant & Mills is one of our favorite commercial pattern makers. Their projects are always beautiful, carefully considered, and just plain fun to make.
This particular tote was designed for one of their canvases, but it works just as beautifully in our printed sailcloth. The size is perfect—it fits a laptop and everything else you need to leave the house. There are lots of pockets inside, perfect for keeping your phone and keys from getting lost in the dreaded bottom of the bag.
We especially love this pattern in the big graphic prints: the Horses, the Strawberries, and just about anything with a little visual punch.
