Shy Black Cat Mini Flat Tote

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
WHY MADE BY FREY
Every piece at Made by Frey starts with thoughtful design. Many of our fabrics require cutting each panel one by one to make sure the prints and patterns line up just right. You won’t find generic templates or common factory patterns here — even the simplest pouch uses the best zippers and carefully chosen materials that elevate the whole piece.
Frey selects fabrics and hardware with a lot of intention. Most materials are premium — YKK zippers, designer prints, and hand-woven textiles that are beautiful but expensive. If it adds quality and feeling, we choose it.
Each item is handmade in small batches by Frey and a small group of women artisans — many of them moms — who sew with patience and care. We test, adjust, and refine designs based on real feedback, paying attention to the little things that make a piece feel warm, personal, and alive.
These are small treasures meant to be used and loved every day — pieces that bring quiet joy and thoughtful craftsmanship into daily life.
