About this Product
A huge stack of clean plastic shopping bags from the same national chain, were woven, on my Union rug loom and transformed into this deceptively sturdy bag. This small sized tote makes a great substitute for a back-pack for school or work with room for smaller laptops.
This tote measures approximately
14-inches wide,
11-inches high and
2-inches deep.
One-inch wide dark blue nylon webbing provides extra support to the bottom and sides in addition to providing comfortable, 24-inch straps.
The interior is lined in a dark blue cotton thrift store find. Have I mentioned before what a great place thrift stores are to find good quality remnants?
Spot clean with a damp cloth, if necessary machine wash on gentle and line dry.
Ships within two business days from date of purchase. Purchases made on Saturday or Sunday will ship on Monday or Tuesday, if a Monday holiday is on the calendar. Please check USPS recommended deadlines during holiday periods.

Lyon Handwovens - handwoven textiles using sustainable and rescued yarns and vintage and repurposed fabrics
Meet the Maker
Lyon Handwovens is a fusion of my early love of all things textile, a two decade career in environmental consulting, followed by another decade in quality. This fusion has resulted in narrowing my focus in weaving to using sustainable yarns (wool, cotton, silk) up-cycled materials (VHS tape, commercial carpet yarn, plastic shopping bags) and repurposed fabrics (dead stock and remnants from professional decorators, estate sales, thrift shops). Sustainability, like most things is not static and this journey I'm on will require ongoing adjustments, new paths and learning from others. I hope you'll check in periodically to see how my journey is progressing.
How it’s Made
A huge stack of clean plastic shopping bags, from the same national chain, were cut into 1-inch strips and woven on my Union rug loom to create this deceptively sturdy bag.

Packaging: In an effort to provide environmentally friendly packaging, I try to use products that contain recycled post-consumer materials, as little plastic as possible and to the extent feasible packaging the buyer can reuse.
