Behind the design
We kept coming back to the rhythm of the shell stitch — the way it ripples like sand after a wave pulls back. The Shell Shoulder Bag leans into that texture with a gentle scalloped surface and a slouchy, lived-in shape. A removable strap lets it move from a relaxed shoulder bag to a shorter underarm carry.
Maker notes
“The shell stitch is so satisfying and the bag feels squishy but holds together. Great confidence-builder.”
