Leather Project Bags

We called this The Boundless Bag, because it has become our most used tote, travelling from city to countryside to beach, its versatility is truly boundless! Originally designed as a knitting project bag, it unzips at both sides to lay near-flat to serve as a delicate bed for your large project while knitting on the go. Its ability to unfurl like this is extremely practical when searching for a small item within and the zips give it a stylish flair to boot!

Inside, you will find an ample zip pocket for your notions or small accessories, as well as two slip pockets for your phone and wallet. It closes with discreet snaps both ways, so that you can cinch it lengthwise for a more compact dumpling shape.

We've created this design in four different colors, one in a different type of leather. The Chocolate, Black and Midnight are made from the same premium matte velvety leather as our Notions Clutch. This leather is naturally thicker, giving the reinforced bottom more structure. This version nods casual luxury and develops its own character, as the leather has natural variegation and ages like a fine wine. A definite head-turner!

Meanwhile, the Almond is an iridescent pebbled leather, more svelte and malleable, decidedly more accepting of rigorous wear and tear. It has a consistency to its coloration, easily wipes clean and doesn't show marks or scratches. For moms on the go, this is definitely the everyday tote. Even when packed with diapers and soiled bibs, this bag will keep you calm and cool - and looking fabulous!

Choosing the right one for you is an entirely personal choice. We would urge you to consider not just the colour, but your style and intended use of this tote. If you're after a luxury boho style, welcome a more characteristic leather, or simply want to match your Notions Clutch, the Chocolate, Midnight or Black is for you. On the other hand, if you've got little ones with sticky hands and need a more forgiving tote, the Almond will be your trusty companion on your everyday adventures.

We designed this petite elegant bag to fit a 1-2 skein project, with an inner zip pocket and compartments that perfectly fit an On the Go and leather tape measure. Meticulously handcrafted from genuine quality leather, it's velvety soft to the touch.

These pochettes have a magnetic snap closure, for snag free knitting. You can even keep your tapestry needles handy by sticking them to the little �x� on the inner lip. Each knitting bag comes with a matching wrist strap and you can add on an optional tassel as well.

Simple and elegant, this project bag is the perfect home for your 'work in progress' knitting projects. Handcrafted from the same velvety soft leather as our Notions Clutch and other leather accessories, its simple design allows the subtle marbling and beautiful colours to take center stage.

Its wide flat base and unique zipper shape lends itself to open wide, allowing the bag to comfortably hold a medium-sized 3-4 skein project, such as a scarf or light cardigan. Inside, it's a simple single large pouch, unlined, the back-side of the soft leather a richer tone of the exterior colour.

Each bag comes with a matching mini leather tassel and detachable wrist strap for easy carrying.

We specifically selected this type of leather for its sought-after aging qualities, like the characteristic caramelization of the colour, a unique patina giving it a sense of history and character.

Meet the Pop Up Bag - your go-to bag for small projects! You'll love this adorable bag because it sits flat and opens wide at the top, perfect for quickly picking up and dropping in your work-in-progress projects.

We designed this bag for 1-2 skein projects like socks, mittens, hats, and cowls. The top folds over and cinches with a brass metal twist lock for a secure close. When opened, it pops up and sits open like a bucket bag with a single wide opening.

We've included a clutch loop that attaches to the sides for a quick grab-and-go option. Alternatively, you can buy a matching shoulder strap to transform your bag to an all-day on-the-go purse!

Each bag is handmade in Ukraine with our signature Crazy Horse leather, specifically chosen for its sought-after aging qualities, like the characteristic caramelization of the colour and development of a unique patina.

With 2 large pockets on the outside and 3 pockets on the roomy inside, you'll have space and place for all your notions, a Project Page, and a Stephen West-size shawlanket or two.

This unique zip pack is designed for makers on the go, featuring a convertible strap system that allows it to be worn as a backpack, purse, or cross-body bag. Handmade in Ukraine from the highest quality crazy horse leather, it's velvety smooth and durable. It is compact in size, yet roomy enough to fit your Notions Clutch or Maker's Folio and a 3-4 skein project. The main zip opens to a generous and sturdy bucket pouch, containing a large inner pocket, ideal for the Clutch. We've added a zip pocket at the back as well to hold your wallet/phone safely flush against your body. The bottom is outfitted with little metallic feet to keep the leather from getting scuffed if placed on the floor. Beautiful and functional in equal measure, this pack has it all.

Fits the Notions Clutch and a 3-4 skein project.

This versatile bag features a clever snaps system that allows it to shrink or expand to fit your needs (or your yarn!). Whether you're carrying a few skeins or enough for a sweater (or three!), the Telescopic Tote has got you covered.

This fabulous, lined bag is free-standing on metallic 'feet' to protect the bottom, has a wide zip-free & snag-free opening, and inner pockets for organizing your essentials. The adjustable leather strap lets you find your perfect fit and unclasps on both sides to allow the tote to collapse or expand with ease. Underneath the top outer shell, you'll find four discrete snaps that you can use to secure the tote in the expanded position. Once collapsed, there are also snaps inside to neatly cinch the fabric lining.

Beyond its practical features, the Telescopic Tote boasts a sleek and stylish design that complements any outfit. It’s the perfect blend of form and function, making it a must-have for every knitter’s collection.
