The cool, soothing colors of the seashore combine with an interesting stripe pattern in this highly useable all-cotton tote, perfect for the summer months!

Double-stranded 100% cotton yarn and the mosaic knitting create a thick, sturdy design, a feature not commonly found in cotton bags.

The fold-down top edge provides a knitted facing behind the integrated handle openings. The result is a stable tote that holds its shape, even when loaded with “stuff”!
