Choosing a small hand-embroidered shopping bag

You've fallen in love with small tote bags, but you're not sure how to choose yours? Don't panic, here are a few tips to help you find the perfect shopping bag.

Recognizing hand embroidery

To distinguish hand embroidery from machine embroidery, look for regularity and texture. Hand embroidery has irregularities, with visible, widely spaced stitches, giving the bag relief and authenticity. Machine embroidery, on the other hand, is uniform and smooth, with tight, regular stitches. You can also look at the reverse of the shopping bag to see if the threads are cut or knotted, indicating hand embroidery.

Choosing the color and size of your shopping bag

When choosing the color of your small tote bag, opt for a tone that complements or contrasts with your wardrobe. A colorful bag energizes neutral outfits, while a sober tote balances bright colors. In terms of size, select a bag according to what you need to carry and your body type.

Measuring 37 cm x 32 cm x 17 cm, small tote bags are perfect for everyday use, holding phone, wallet, scarf and skincare products. The quilted of these small bags offers greater resistance, ideal for carrying fragile items such as a tablet or computer.

For larger needs, we also offer a collection of large shopping bags measuring 49 cm x 39 cm x 19 cm.

Here again, we offer a quilted travel tote ideal for frequent business trips, weekends or vacations.

Caring for your small tote bag

Are you proud of your small tote bag and want to keep it in the best possible condition? Here are some essential tips for maintaining and preserving the beauty and quality of your tote bag.

Regular maintenance

To keep your small tote bag looking its best, regular care is crucial.
Gently dust it with a soft, dry brush at least once a week. In the event of a stain, clean with a damp cloth and Marseille soap, rubbing gently to avoid damaging the cotton fabric or embroidery. Rinse with a damp cloth and allow to air dry, away from any source of heat.

Protection and care

Avoid using chemical or abrasive products that could alter the bandana texture or damage the embroidery. For extra protection, you can waterproof your bag with a spray suitable for cotton fabrics, making it resistant to moisture and stains. It's advisable to repeat this operation every six months.

Small tote bags from Call It By Your Name are not just fashion accessories, but a testament to your personal style and appreciation of quality craftsmanship.
