Classic Pocket Tote with Orange Canvas (2 Kittens)
PRE-ORDER: CLASSIC POCKET TOTES WILL SHIP MARCH 8
Don’t let the kitten fool ya—this tote is up for the challenge. It’s a classic, do-it-all tote built from hefty 21oz canvas (unlined, because the canvas is the structure). The bottom is tough waxed canvas that coordinates with the kitten pocket, made to take daily wear like a champ.
Up top, you’ll get a little attitude: the top edge is a reinforced raw edge, designed for a touch of fringe action. The fringe will soften and evolve with use over time—part of the tote’s lived-in character. Snip any long fringe strings as needed.
The winningest feature is the hand-embroidered vintage kitten quilt-square exterior pocket, lined for durability so it can handle real use. Inside, there’s an internal pocket to keep essentials at hand. And the handles are reinforced with antique brass rivets, so yes—put AS MUCH STUFF IN THERE AS YOU DARE.
Each tote also comes with a tampico brush set to keep the waxed canvas looking good.

Our Process
Purpose in Repurposing
Everything I make at m.a.b.e.l takes time. I find and like to work with pre-1950s quilts because of their natural fibers and their designs that are so old they’re modern again. I work slowly to appreciate all the handwork and decisions that once created them. Every quilt is beautifully unique, and I love making it shine.

Out with the old...
At m.a.b.e.l, everything old can be new again. Send me your used m.a.b.e.l coat or popover (it’ll be repurposed once again!) and I'll give you a discount on your next one!
UPCYCLE YOUR QUILT Send us your quilt, and we'll give it new life. Learn more.
