NEW Folklore Fabric Tote Bag

Folklore Fabric is unique to my shop and was an exciting collaboration between myself, as the designer, Richard MR Smith, a master weaver and talented folk at Weisters Mill in Darwen, Lancashire. Since I have only a few Folklore Fabric cushions remaining, I evolved my Folklore Fabric into a useful reusable roomy cotton Tote Bag, ideal for all your shopping purchases, or to keep your daily jetsam and flotsam in when you are out and about.
