    ABOUT THE DESIGN

    The floral design of this fabric was inspired by traditional floral beadwork, a style that was developed by bead workers of the Woodlands nations after the introduction of glass beads during the fur trade. Floral beadwork and appliqué designs continue to be a fundamental part of regalia for Anishinaabeg and other Woodlands nations.

    Absolutely beautiful and practical!

    "This piece really spoke to me! I opened the box and when I saw this bag, it nearly brought me to tears! Wow! What a connection with this bag! So well made, so beautiful, and so practical that I have it with me at all times when I leave the house. Great for the environment as I use it for shopping and groceries! And I’m French, so the Fleurs bag and pouch is all about me! Merci beaucoup pour les Fleurs ! J’adore!"

    — Gisele P. (5/5)

    Lovely bag!

    "Large, soft, and beautiful. Durable too. I would love it if there was another pocket inside! (There’s only one small one)"

    — Henny H. (5/5)

    New Favourite Tote ❤️

    "This beauty is my new go to bag. It's such a lovely design that can go with anything, yet still unique. The bag is so so soft and cozy and most importantly it's super spacious and can fit everything, without being bulky. I have to add that the best feature is the length of the straps. They are long enough that they actually stay on your shoulder without constant reajustment. This tote is a must have!"

    — Laney C. (5/5)
