Sunflower Shoulder Bag – Rust

Rust is the colour of things that have weathered well: old brick, autumn bracken, a much-loved leather chair. On that warm ground the sunflowers glow, each set in its own square on the diagonal, petals worked one by one around a dark centre. The body is soft and slouchy, with an open V closed by a single button and one curved strap that settles easily on the shoulder. The crochet has weight without stiffness, so it folds in close when it sits against you. Carry it from a morning market into the evening. Organic cotton blend, crocheted square by square by Anatolian hands.
