J’adore mon tricot / La vie en tricot

// J’adore mon tricot / La vie en tricot //

I’m a little behind in updating the blog so if you’re a newsletter subscriber or follow me on Instagram, you would have already seen these.

As you know, I was supposed to vend at the inaugural Knit City Montreal at the end of this week but the show is postponed until July due to Covid-19 and sadly, I’m not able to attend on the new dates. Aside from the new “Make” and Olive bags, these were supposed to debut at the show. I thought it would be fun to make some limited edition French bags for my neighbors in Quebec. Oui?

I chose to keep these simple so I can offer it at a different price point. There are no pockets for either style and the tote is left open on top. I did put a longer handle so it can be worn over the shoulder if preferred.

Let’s get plaid!

Pearadise Island - Plaid Tote Bags - Limited Edition

// Holiday 19 – Limited Edition //

It’s been a while since I did a limited edition! If you’re new here and didn’t know, every so often I like to switch things up and make something completely different for the shop. Think of it as a palette cleanser!

I’ve had this fabric for over a year now – but never got around to cutting and sewing until now! The good thing is, plaid is a timeless pattern that will never go out of style.

I will have a small amount of these plaid tote bags in the shop tomorrow and newsletter subscribers are always first in line to my limited edition updates. It’s a small way to show my appreciation! They’ve already been notified what time these will go live but it isn’t too late if you wanted to join us! Click here to sign up and you’ll get a notification when they go live.

I couldn’t decide between the dark/light leather zipper pull to use because I love both! Which one do you prefer? I think it’ll be fun to have an option to pick, don’t you?

These tote bags can fit 3-4 skeins with a WIP comfortably! I absolutely love them and have already kept one for myself :)))

I hope you like them and you’ll stop by the shop tomorrow!

Pink Edition

I decided to switch things up a bit and go pink for Mother’s day! I needed a palette cleanser and it’s also nice to switch things up once in a while.

I used YKK gold metal zippers for the medium sized bag with a natural leather for the zipper pull. The smaller bag also comes with a white drawstring and zipper.

As always, they both come with a zippered pocket in the back.

The medium bag is made of suiting material with a chevron pattern. The small drawstring is a linen/cotton blend. I used canvas for the lining and my logo is screen printed inside, as per usual.

I hope you like it! I was totally inspired when I came across this fabric and just had to turn them into bags. I do have a few more various prints in my stash and I think I’ll do a few more limited editions like this in between shop updates. So much fun! They will be in the shop this Sunday, May 13th at 7pm EST. I hope you’ll stop by!
