Sign In
Sorrel is a fully lined tote bag designed with soft shaping and structure for everyday use. Darted construction gives the bag its three-dimensional sculpted silhouette, and a rounded base that tapers toward the opening creates a modern, easy-to-carry shape.
Clean finishing details elevate the interior and exterior alike, with a fully lined construction and a self-facing along the top edge for a polished finish. An interior pocket, neatly set into the facing seam, is perfect for small essentials. Two shoulder straps are designed to fit comfortably over the shoulder, making Sorrel an easy companion for everyday life.
Whether carried as a casual handbag, packed for a trip to the farmer’s market, or filled with sewing projects and daily essentials, Sorrel is designed to move seamlessly from one part of your day to the next. Its simple shape makes it endlessly versatile, while the sculpted silhouette gives it a refined, modern feel that still feels relaxed and approachable.
Fabric
Sorrel is designed for heavyweight woven fabrics that give the bag structure and durability for everyday use. Canvas, twill, denim, duck cloth, linen blends, and waxed canvas all create a sturdy tote with beautiful shape and definition. For a more elevated look, faux leather adds structure and a polished finish.
You can also sew Sorrel in medium weight woven fabrics such as quilting cotton, chambray, oxford, or madras for a softer, more relaxed feel. If using medium weight fabrics, interfacing is recommended to help maintain the bag’s sculpted shape.
For the lining, medium weight cotton fabrics like quilting cotton, chambray, oxford, and madras work beautifully and provide enough structure to support everyday use.
Because the construction is clean and the silhouette is simple, Sorrel is also a wonderful canvas for exploring surface design and personal details. A striped fabric gives the bag an effortless summer feel, while a bold novelty print can transform it into a statement piece. Contrast topstitching, embroidery, patchwork, block printing, or handmade labels are all beautiful ways to make the design your own.
Whether you sew it in sturdy neutrals or playful prints, Sorrel is the kind of bag that invites creativity and becomes even better with use.
