Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - This roomy, hard-working medium sized tote bag will re-define your commitment to the environment by reducing or eliminating the number of bags you collect during a trip out and allowing you to tuck your purchases from the farmers market or flea market directly into your bag. This tote bag along with others I've woven are keeping those old VHS tapes, that you thought had outlived their usefulness after the VCR died, out of the landfill.
When necessary just toss your tote bag into the washer on the gentle cycle, reshape and stand upside down to air dry. This sturdy light weight tote bag will provide years of service.

Lyon Handwovens
Meet the Maker
Lyon Handwovens is a fusion of my early love of all things textile, a two decade career in environmental consulting, followed by another decade in quality. This fusion has resulted in narrowing my focus in weaving to using sustainable yarns (wool, cotton, silk) up-cycled materials (VHS tape, commercial carpet yarn, plastic shopping bags) and repurposed fabrics (dead stock and remnants from professional decorators, estate sales, thrift shops). Sustainability, like most things is not static and this journey I'm on will require ongoing adjustments, new paths and learning from others. I hope you'll check in periodically to see how my journey is progressing.
How it’s Made
Unlike my large tote bags these medium sized bags are unlined and were designed to be quick to dry after a day at the beach, lake or swimming pool or a visit to the local farmers market or fruit stand.
