A bag project with the most hardware and accessories to date, Yuga Tote Bag 優雅なトートバッグ is a elegant piece that is suitable for all occasions. One of many distinctive features are the curvaceous and asymmetrical exterior pockets, accentuated by cotton piping. The lining is also divided into two compartments by a zipper pocket-cum-divider. Throughout the bag, you will find it sprinkled with metal hardware and leather accessories, giving it a more sophisticated look. There're more than 7 compartments for you to organise your belongings and even D-rings on the gussets for you to add on an optional crossbody strap. Choose from a variety of Japanese fabrics and pair it with either black, red or dark brown accessories with gold or bronze hardware. You can also choose leather handles that are hand stitched or screwed on. This is an advanced level sewing class that will require 2 workshop sessions.
