Two For One: Totes with Function and Form

Totes and tablet covers

Dear friends,

Remember when you came with me to New York back in February? I took photos and told you about my finds. You responded most to a felted wool handbag line called Graf and Lantz. You can re-read that post here.

Well, the bags that we chose way back then were made just for Renee's, and they have arrived! Even better than I remember, the handmade totes are perfect for the northwest.

We have both felt and canvas bags. Some come with a sturdy leather bottom. Traditionally made with wool, felt is considered to be the world's oldest fabric.

Although these days there are mainly synthetic fiber felts on the market, there are still a handful mostly European producers left that specialize in high quality wool felt.

Graf and Lantz import their custom felts from Germany. The felts are made of merino wool, which is prized for its ultra fine fibers and soft feel. The natural oil content of the wool makes this felt stain and water resistant.

If any spills occur you can just dab off moisture with a wet towel or rinse lightly with water. Allow to air dry, and the bag will be as good as new.

Daily Bag charcoal/gray

Best of all wool felt is a natural, sustainable and biodegradable material.

Look stylish and carry all your daily necessities in these roomy, one-of-a-kind totes. Invest in a beautiful bag that will last a lifetime today!

With love,

Renee
