A natural cotton shopping bag with a hand-embroidered red wildflower border running along the base. The warm, undyed cotton lets the embroidery come forward without competing colours, while the 10 cm gusset allows the bag to stand on its own when filled.
About the embroidery
The red wildflower border is sewn by hand on the front of the bag, with small variations from piece to piece that are typical of handwork. The motif is gentle and feminine, suiting both modern and country-style wardrobes.
Where to take it
A Saturday market trip, the bakery, the bookshop, a long café afternoon or a garden centre. The size comfortably holds a couple of loaves of bread, a wide-leafed bunch of herbs and a glass jar or two. Many also give it as a small gift for housewarmings, mother’s day or birthdays.
Care
Wash at 30 °C with similar colours, inside out to protect the embroidery. Iron on the reverse only. Avoid tumble drying so the cotton keeps its shape.

A small note on each piece
Because each bag is embroidered by hand, no two pieces are exactly alike: the placement of individual flowers, the density of the stitches and the curvature of the leaves vary slightly. This is part of the charm of a handcrafted item, and a good reason to choose one before it is gone.
