A flask for a slow morning, a notebook for a thought worth keeping, and six little cats ready to come along. Soft sage, butter yellow, faded blue and warm rust patchwork frame their embroidered faces, each dressed for a different kind of day. The warm speckled back keeps the mood quiet, while the front rewards a closer look with whiskers, rosy cheeks and tiny stitched details.
Why We Love It
Layered fabric appliqué gives each of the six cats a character of its own. Embroidered eyes, whiskers, rosy cheeks and small outfit details add texture, while the separate drawstring compartment and front zipped pocket make the bag easy to use for everyday outings.
Handmade Details, Up Close
The front is built from layered fabric appliqué, with six little cats set against soft patchwork panels. Their ears, faces and individual outfits give the surface a gently raised texture, while hand-embroidered eyes, whiskers, rosy cheeks and small clothing details bring each character to life. Visible stitching around the appliqué and across the fabric adds to the tactile finish; the muted checks, woven flecks and contrasting cloth pieces reward a closer look.
Small differences in stitch placement, patchwork alignment, fabric pattern and cat expressions may occur from one handmade piece to another. These subtle variations are part of its individual character, and a made-to-order bag may differ slightly from the photographed example.

Size

What It Can Hold
Use the tall main compartment for a suitably sized, securely closed water bottle, or carry a phone, a slim notebook and a few small essentials as illustrated in the actual photographs. Fit depends on the size and shape of the bottle or belongings; please compare them with the bag measurements before ordering.
Four Ways to Carry
-
Top handle: carry upright by the detachable braided short handle.
-
Side handle: turn the bag horizontally and carry by the permanent 8.5 cm side fabric handle.
-
Shoulder: attach the long strap to both side rings and adjust it for one-shoulder wear.

Crossbody: lengthen the adjustable long strap to wear diagonally across the body.
How to Use
Place your securely closed bottle or small essentials in the main compartment, gather the drawstring and secure the toggle. Use the front zipped pocket for small, flat items. Check both strap clips are closed before lifting; for horizontal side-handle carrying, keep the contents secured and any bottle tightly closed.

Handmade Character & Care
Small variations in fabric placement, stitching and cat expressions are part of the handmade character. Gently spot clean with a soft, damp cloth, then allow to air dry. Do not machine wash, soak or tumble dry. Handle the appliqué, embroidery and fittings gently.
