Description
This is for the long weekend at the lake, with everything packed in one bag.
Built for the long haul, the T-Striped Towel Tote has a quiet strength. Bold vertical stripes in Midnight and Brown give it a clean, graphic look that works just as well hauling firewood at camp as it does packed for a weekend away.
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.
