Two-way Bag

What sets this bag apart is the two sets of handles of different lengths attached to the bag’s inside. Even if you use one set of handles, the other remains conveniently hidden inside. Cut the shoulder straps and handles to the right length for your height.

Reversible Bags—Full-circle Bag and Puff-out Tuck Bag

11 is made from a circular piece of material which becomes a bag when the straps are drawn up. 12 has tucks in the base to create a gently rounded shape. Generous proportions make for ease of use. Reversibility is an added plus. Choose which side to display depending on your mood.
