Large tote bag
Handmade Oversized Beach & Holiday Tote Bag
Everything you need for a brilliant day out towels, snacks, sunscreen, books, and a spare layer - all in one beautiful bag that's made to be used hard. Six outer pockets, a wipe-clean oilskin base, and a pull-out lining that shakes sand straight out. This is the tote that goes everywhere and comes back for more.
Why You'll Love It
Six generous outer pockets - sun cream, sunglasses, snacks, phones, keys, and water bottles all have a home; no rummaging, no losing things at the bottom of a giant bag
The pull-out lining is a revelation - shake out the sand at the end of a beach day without turning the whole bag inside out; it goes straight back in and you're ready for tomorrow
GOTS-certified dry oilskin base - adds structure, water resistance, and durability right where the bag takes the most punishment; wipes clean in seconds
Genuinely oversized - at H 43 cm × W 61.5 cm × D 17 cm it fits beach towels, books, beachwear, and everything else a proper beach day or weekend break demands
Made from fabrics with a past life - crafted from curtain and upholstery remnants with a preloved lining, so every bag is a sustainable choice as well as a beautiful one
Two magnetic snaps keep it all together - secure enough for a busy day out, easy enough to open one-handed when your arms are full

FAQs
How does the pull-out lining work? The lining pulls out so you can give it a good shake and tip out sand, crumbs, or debris without wrestling with the whole bag. It tucks back in easily and the bag is ready to go again - a small detail that makes a real difference after a beach day.
What is the oilskin base? The base is made from GOTS-certified dry oilskin - a durable, water-resistant fabric that gives the bag structure and protects the bottom from wet sand, damp surfaces, and everyday wear. It wipes clean easily with a damp cloth.
Can I wash the whole bag? Spot-cleaning the oilskin base is recommended to keep its finish and water resistance intact. If the full bag needs a wash, hand-washing is fine - but please be aware the oilskin may require re-proofing afterwards and can change colour slightly over time.
Is it big enough for a family beach day? Yes - at H 43 cm × W 61.5 cm × D 17 cm it's genuinely oversized. Several customers use it for family days out and report it fits everything comfortably, with the pockets keeping everyone's bits neatly separated.
Is this really one of a kind? Yes, genuinely. Every tote is made in small batches from a unique combination of curtain and upholstery remnants and preloved lining fabric - once that combination is gone, it won't be repeated.
How long will delivery take? Orders placed before 5pm are dispatched the next working day via Royal Mail Tracked 48 (2–3 days) or Tracked 24 (next day). Free standard delivery on orders over £120; £4.95 otherwise.
Can I return it if it's not right? Yes - free UK returns, subject to our Returns Policy. To start a return, get in touch via the website.
A Note from Claire

Add to your basket - and if you'd like a specific colour or style, or just want to ask a question before you buy, get in touch with Claire directly. She'd love to help.
