This tote is made from a rare vintage homespun fabric — the kind of handwoven cotton that carries a rustic warmth you can’t find in factory cloth. It’s soft yet sturdy, with that slightly uneven texture that reminds you it was made by human hands, not machines.

On the front, there’s a little black cat I carefully stitched myself. She looks a bit shy, a little nervous — and that’s exactly what makes her so endearing. Every cat’s expression comes out differently, so each bag feels like it has its own quiet personality.

Inside, the lining is always a small surprise, since the color and fabric vary. The magnetic snap has a vintage charm, easy to open and close. It’s the bag I love to take to the bookstore or on slow walks — light, cozy, and carrying with it a little piece of handmade warmth.

Features:

· Size: Approx. 10.6" × 9.2" (27 × 23.5 cm)

· Material: Rare vintage-style homespun cotton, soft but sturdy

· Lining: Random inner fabric and color — each one a little surprise

· Closure: Antique-finish magnetic snap

· Design: Hand-stitched black cat appliqué on the front center – with a shy, slightly nervous expression

· Color Palette: Deep green plaid with red handles — a playful retro mix

· Use: Great for carrying books to the bookstore, or for light everyday outings

WHY MADE BY FREY

Frey makes each piece the way she’d want it for herself. She chooses fabrics and details carefully, tests them, and refines designs based on real feedback.

Every item is handmade in small batches by Frey and a few women artisans — most of them moms — who sew with patience, care, and attention to the little things that make each piece feel alive.

These are small treasures meant to be used, carried, and loved every day. They show what thoughtful, handwork can bring to everyday life — warmth, personality, and a touch of joy.

PACKAGING

For fragile items, we use sturdy shipping boxes to prevent damage. For other products, bright yellow bubble mailers are used to help reduce the risk of loss during transit. Even small boxes are often placed inside an extra yellow bubble mailer to further lower the chance of them getting lost.

Packaging is always being refined — the goal is to protect items without overpacking, keeping them safe while minimizing loss.
