Secret Garden Handmade Tote Bag Upcycled Vintage Fabrics & Denim
Step into a hidden world of quiet beauty. The Secret Garden Tote is sewn entirely by hand from rare vintage floral fabric in the softest sage green and warm cream, a piece of textile history to cherish. Each bag is truly one-of-a-kind; no two gardens are ever exactly alike. Upcycled denim, washed until it feels like a favourite worn-in pair of jeans, forms the sturdy side panels and the comfortable handles are coordinated perfectly with the front quilted fabrics.
The faded blue against the muted florals creates a gentle, timeless contrast: old cottage garden meets everyday ease. Inside, you’ll find a spacious green & cream cotton lining and a single zippered deep pocket for keys or a phone and a magnetic clasp holds it all together nicely.
Carry a little piece of an overgrown, sun-dappled secret garden with you, wherever the day takes you. Only one available. When it’s gone, the garden closes its gate.
This fully lined tote bag also features two small outer pockets from upcycled denim jeans, double-stitched handles for added durability, and is machine washable for easy care.
STURDY & SUSTAINABLE
Each of my handcrafted tote bags is designed with durability at its core, ensuring they withstand the demands of daily use while embracing sustainability. By skillfully combining vintage fabrics, recycled denim and upcycled wool blankets, I create totes that are both sturdy and eco-conscious. The robust denim, often repurposed from pre-loved jeans, forms a strong base and handles, providing reliable support for carrying heavy loads. The vintage fabrics, carefully selected for their timeless charm, are reinforced to enhance strength without compromising their unique aesthetic. This thoughtful construction not only extends the life of each bag but also celebrates the beauty of upcycled materials, making every tote a durable, sustainable companion for work, shopping, or leisurely outings.
