Carry on

Okay, so I collect things.  And one of those things I collect and use are bags, totes, baskets.  Items to hold my knitting.  And Lantern Moon has a lot of what I like.

Rice baskets - the salt water reed is sustainably harvested, flattened by hand press, then dyed and woven by village artisans in the community center and in their homes





 Clam Shell Cases - three fit into one and zip up.  Great for notions.


Boca - twisted seagrass baskets with silk lining. Small and medium with drawstring closure.


 



Silk Taffeta bags - three different sizes.  I have a lady that uses them to gift wines.











Ibiza - diamond pattern palm leaf combined with natural palm inside to make a fresh summer tote. Rattan ring handles.







  Swing bucket - Roomy drawstring pouch with four outside pockets in limited edition prints.



Tilly - Folded and sewn palm leaf in perfect brights for Spring and Summer. Natural palm is woven in to create a rick rack effect. Wooden handles on this farmer's market tote.

Jewel - Taffeta silk tops the soft quilted charcoal box.

Sapa Messenger bag  


Palm Leaf Tote - braided palm leaf with wooden handle. Black cotton lining with magnetic snap. Inside zipper pocket.
                           

Silk and velvet, I am a Victorian lady.



Maya Floral - small project bag in beautiful Vietnamese floral print silk.  Loop and shell button closure.
