Kemptown Carry

£48.00

A one-of-a-kind patchwork carry, made slowly from beautiful remnants of linen, wool and chenille.

Kemptown Carry brings together colour, texture and thoughtful reuse in a generously sized zipped pouch designed for the things you like to keep together.

The front is pieced by hand from narrow strips of reclaimed and leftover textiles, including rich blue and turquoise chenille, navy linen, soft grey and vibrant pink wool, and a dark green striped weave. The different textures and irregular blocks give the patchwork its distinctive, contemporary character.

The reverse is kept deliberately simple in deep turquoise-blue chenille, allowing the patchwork front to take centre stage.

Open the silver zip and there is another burst of colour inside: a beautiful Liberty cotton lining in deep blue, turquoise, green and vivid fuchsia pink, chosen to echo the colours of the patchwork.

With a 2-inch boxed base, Kemptown Carry has more room than a flat pouch whilst still being easy to slip into a larger bag. Use it for a book and everyday essentials, travel bits, toiletries, creative supplies, or simply those things which otherwise migrate mysteriously around the bottom of a tote.

Details

  • Approx. 12 in wide × 8 in high × 2 in deep (30.5 × 20.5 × 5 cm)

The beauty of working with repurposed and remnant textiles is that no two pieces are quite the same. Small variations and signs of a fabric's previous life are part of its character, rather than something to hide.
