You could almost be forgiven for thinking that the Tote Bag invented minimalism - as consistent as its design is in its focus on the essentials. Our tote bag is crocheted by hand from durable 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 design and function, it proves to be a true all-rounder that will 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 bring together Danish design and the traditional craftsmanship of India and Nepal, as their goal is to offer high-quality, durable clothing and home textiles while supporting local women artisans. In Nepal, for example, handmade textiles account for a large part of the national economy; as in India, the production of these textiles has always been in the hands of women. Care By Me therefore collaborates with small workshops where women can learn and practice traditional crafts, thereby providing them with a secure income. The virgin wool comes from the region around Kathmandu and is spun there as well. The cotton used comes from certified organic cultivation; 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.
