Description
This is for the friend who brings the towels, the snacks and the spare sunscreen.
The Retro Striped Towel Tote is both a statement piece and an everyday carryall. It's oversized, light and sturdy, holds everything you need for a day out, and adds a pop of Butternut and Quartz when it's back at home.
Underwater Weaving is the basket studio Brooklyn artist Erin Pollard started with her mother, Peggy, in Maine. Everything is woven by hand by the two of them and a small team.
