Tas Tote Red Land Cotton

The stitching is solid and the cotton feels thick enough to hold groceries without sagging. I love that it’s made from leftover fabric scraps here in Alabama—knowing it kept waste out of a landfill makes it even better than my usual canvas totes.

I was a little worried a bag made from scraps would look patchwork, but the weave is completely uniform and honestly beautiful. It’s held up through a week of heavy groceries and my daily commute without a single loose thread, and knowing it was sewn in Alabama makes me feel good about the purchase.

The fabric is sturdy without feeling stiff, and the fact that it’s sewn from leftover scraps in Alabama makes it feel like a small piece of craftsmanship. It holds my groceries and a book bag with room to spare, and the simple design works for the farmer’s market or the office.
