Little Caroline Totes, all in a row.

The Caroline Tote has a retro vibe and a fully modern functionality. Designed with grown-up ladies in mind, it is a miniature handbag that has also been a favorite of small humans such as granddaughters and nieces. A perfect little vacation bag even if you normally carry a large bag at home. I pick out the fabrics that make me think of slack key guitars and drinks with paper umbrellas.

Visit the New fashion accessories section of our etsy store for more pictures of the front, back and inside, and more details on each bag.

The tote is fully lined and interfaced, with the essential features you need. A zipper pocket for your cards and cash. An open pocket for keys. The main compartment for a phone and lip balm, maybe your tourist-y map. Short handles fit comfortably in your hand for swinging down the street, or dangle them over your wrist, so cute!

The shape, trim, and button flap, remind me of a wicker picnic basket on its way to the beach. And the Caroline Tote always features an over-sized button, more for humor than security.

All of my handbag designs are named after special friends’ granddaughters. The Caroline Tote is definitely charmed. Thank you, Caroline.
