You buy something at a shop abroad, or carry food out of a restaurant, and it comes to you in a plastic bag with a design too good to throw away. That feeling is where this tote came from. The fabric is crumpled on purpose, the way a real market bag crumples, and every element of the design is embroidery.
Orange, chosen with a staff member who lived in Hong Kong, after the bags handed across the counter at a roast-meat shop. The designer's own favorite of the four. An inner pocket doubles as a pouch the whole bag folds into.
