Project 120 is a leather tote from Re:Designed, the Danish brand that makes leather bags for knitters and crocheters. It's designed to carry your projects wherever you go, but it's also simply a good-looking tote, so it works as an everyday bag.
That double use is the point. Many knitters end up carrying a separate project bag alongside their handbag; a tote like this lets one bag do both jobs, with room for a project as well as a wallet, phone and keys.
It's for the knitter or crocheter who brings their work to the office, a café or a train ride, and wants a leather bag that doesn't look like a craft bag.
Good for
- An everyday bag that carries a project
- Commuters who knit on the go
- Mid-sized projects like shawls and cardigans
- A long-lasting gift
Using it
Keep the project itself in a small cotton pouch inside the tote, so keys and pens don't snag your stitches and loose fibers don't cling to the lining. Cap needle points or use a needle case. If you carry the bag every day, take a moment to empty it occasionally so it doesn't sag under weight it doesn't need.
Looking after it
Wipe the leather with a soft dry cloth. Keep it out of prolonged direct sun and away from heat, and let it dry naturally if it gets wet. An occasional leather conditioner keeps it supple. When storing, stuff it with paper so it keeps its shape.
