Simple Tote (Pink String Quilt)
$7 Flat Rate Shipping in the U.S.
Simple totes FTW! There's really nothing better than the simple tote bag, right? Large enough for errands (or multiple WIPs), but not so large that it's too heavy to lug around. Each Simple Tote is a different size, to take advantage of the original quilt's pattern.
This Simple Tote was cut and sewn from a string quilt, featuring some really lovely feedsack fabrics! There are two totes available, one has a pink "racing stripe," the other showcases the scrappy fabrics laid out on the diagonal.
This Pink String Quilt Simple Totes measures 20" seam to seam and 13.5" tall. They are 5" deep and the handles have a 13.5" drop.

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!
