A closer look
This is a handmade tote bag crafted from thick, durable woven cotton fabric, referred to as "old earth cloth." The main body of the bag features a vertical striped pattern with thin lines in shades of muted blue, green, and red against an off-white background. The side panels are constructed from a solid, earthy brown fabric that has a slightly textured, matte surface, consistent with a persimmon-dyed finish.

The interior of the bag is fully lined with a black and white gingham checkered fabric. It features a single, horizontal zippered pocket on the back wall, with a red zipper tape and a metal ring pull. The top closure is secured by a single
