foraging




We started making these organic bags for toddlers and little kids to use while foraging, to collect things on their daily adventures in the woods or the neighborhood. An acorn, a few leaves, a library book... perhaps an oatmeal cookie or two.

 


With back to school around the corner, we thought it was about time to introduce a few new ones.







When Inhabitots featured them last year, they said (and it tickles us pink to read this every time) "These kid-friendly, kid-sized messenger bags are perfectly suited for your preschooler or kindergartner; equipping him or her with the perfect tote for carrying small treasures, crayons, and art projects to and from class."





We make them to offer kids a sustainable bag choice that's as interesting and original as it is eco friendly. That's something we strive to do in our whole shop: use organic and eco friendly materials in fresh, stylish combinations. We like our granola a little spicy, I guess.

  10. Thank you Valerie & Meg - thank you for visiting the blog and taking the time to leave your comments. I hope to make more bags in the next few weeks - I have a little helper with colors and fabric choices, so I can't take all the credit :)
