Calico Tote Bag 38 x 42cm Double Short Strap

This 38 × 42 cm calico tote bag with double short straps offers a classic hand-carry profile ideal for gift packaging, retail sales, and artistic projects. Its sturdy cotton weave provides a strong base for printing, painting, or embroidery, while the shorter handles lend a boutique-inspired aesthetic.

Crafted from 100 % natural calico cotton, the bag takes colour beautifully, whether using screen inks, fibre-reactive dyes, or fabric markers. Its soft texture and neutral tone enhance every print style—from rustic botanical motifs to sharp graphic designs—making it a favourite among small studios and artisan markets.

Reusable, washable, and biodegradable, this tote fits seamlessly into sustainable retail and craft models.
