Chevron Tote with an eye-catching color gradient from dark to light. The inspiration for this color pattern came from a piece of silk fabric I couldn’t take my eyes off. It formed a lovely blended gradient from darks to lights, with hues of reds in between. I wanted to recreate this gradient pattern with chevrons and make something that was seamless and ‘desirably workable’. And so…this smart, functional, stylish tote emerged. Use it for dance class, the pool, an overnight tote, or a fantastic gift bag! Feel free to change up colors to suit your own tastes.
