Medium Waxed Canvas Quilt Tote (Yellow with Bright Orange Bottom) #2
Tough enough for the everyday grind, but with a wink of vintage charm. m.a.b.e.l’s Waxed Canvas Tote Bags pair a rugged waxed canvas base with panels from repurposed quilt tops — so no two are ever alike. Every bag carries a little piece of history stitched into something brand new.
Smart Little Touches
- An inside pocket that actually fits your essentials (because rummaging is overrated)
- Lined with sturdy 10oz canvas that holds its own
- Cotton webbed handles you can actually trust to haul your life around
- Large and Medium sling over your shoulder; Small insists on being your chic hand-carry sidekick
- Large features side snaps that lessen the bulk for smaller loads
Built for Real Life
The waxed canvas bottom laughs at puddles, subway floors, and grocery runs, while the quilt top brings the soul — unexpected patterns, colors, and character that make each tote one-of-a-kind.
Three Sizes, Zero Excuses
- Large: The weekender, the workhorse, the “I’ll just bring one more thing” bag – approx. 14"H x 27"W x 9.5"D

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!
