The Getaway Tote is large, eye-catching, and ready to carry it all—from towels and sunscreen to books, snacks, and everything in between.

With its bold silhouette and modern structure, this tote stands out in the best way, making it as fun to sew as it is to show off.
This project also gives you the opportunity to try something new: installing round metal handles. While they may look intricate, you'll be surprised at how approachable the process becomes with our step-by-step guidance.

It’s the perfect detail to help your handmade tote feel polished, high-end, and uniquely yours.
