You could almost be forgiven for thinking that the Totebag invented minimalism - as consistent as its design is in its focus on the essentials. Our tote bag is crocheted by hand from hard-wearing raffia (the leaf fibers of the raffia palm) and adds the finishing touch to the minimalist style with its airy hole pattern. The carrying capacity of the natural material remains unbroken, so the tote bag patiently holds your shopping. The handles are long enough to carry the bag by hand or on the shoulder, depending on your preference. In terms of both design and function, it proves to be a true all-rounder that will also stylishly complement your outfit in the office, at lunch or on an evening date.

Behind the Danish label Care By Me are designer Camilla Gullits and her business partner Pernille Pold. Their designs combine Danish design and the traditional craftsmanship of India and Nepal, as their aim is not only to offer high-quality and durable clothing and home textiles, but also to produce them in a resource-friendly and fair way. In Nepal, for example, handmade textiles make up a large part of the national economy and, as in India, the production of textiles is traditionally in the hands of women. Care By Me therefore works with small workshops where women can learn and practise the traditional craft in order to provide them with a secure income. The new wool comes from the region around Kathmandu and is also spun there. The cotton used comes from controlled organic cultivation and Care By Me sources it from a GOTS and fair trade-certified partner company.

Certain manufacturing steps are carried out by hand. Slight dimensional and color deviations may therefore occur.
