Fabulous cheery bag which is so capacious. Really secure handles, vital for those treks to the beach lugging towels, picnic and so on, and then home lugging wet and heavier towels. Superb workmanship as always, great packaging, speedy posting. Wonderful seller. Many thanks.

This little bag is stunning. I love that it's made from upcycled materials, and the combination of colours and textures is divine. It's beautifully sewn, with the inside as lovely as the outside. I'm going to use it to hold my embroidery threads.
