Studio Tote (Cadet Blue Drunkard's Path)
The Studio Tote is just about the perfect tote—structured, versatile, and designed to move easily through your day.
Lined in sturdy canvas and finished with seam to seam interior pockets along one side, it’s made to stand on its own and keep essentials organized and within reach. It holds plenty of yarn, but works just as well for books, tools, toys, or daily carry.
New to this version, a discreet magnetic snap closure adds light security, while the detachable strap hardware has been moved to the inside of the bag—keeping the exterior clean and uncluttered.
Carry it by the short handles for quick errands, or wear it crossbody using the adjustable, removable strap for comfortable, hands-free carry—perfect for longer days, markets, or travel.
Size (standing, with corners pushed out):
12" wide × 10" tall × 6" deep
Why I love it: It’s the kind of bag you reach for without thinking. Structured but relaxed, organized but not precious—and the crossbody option makes it easy to keep moving, hands free.

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.
