Beach Bag 02

This square, wide-mouth bag works as the bag a guide or participant carries on group trips, and for documents and a laptop at meetings. It also holds a towel and a bottle at the beach on a summer holiday. The handles are cut to shoulder height. There are two short woven handles on the front. In addition, there is an adjustable turquoise long shoulder strap, held to the inner surface by snap buttons, which allows cross-body carrying. The body is a thick, raw, natural-colored cotton at 200 g. Wide side gussets add volume. In the example shown, a small rectangular woven label sits in the center of the front, with the strap and snaps in turquoise. A print covering the whole front can replace the label. With the strap off, the bag is carried by the short handles alone, and with it on, hands stay free while walking. The handle build supports three uses, by hand with the short handles, on the shoulder with the strap, or cross-body.
