Inspired by the charm of Patagonia, the El Bolsón boasts a spacious design with a vegetable-tanned leather base and artisanal crochet mesh pocket. This stylish tote features a brass hardware finish, heavy-duty duck canvas, and an embroidered jaguar, merging functionality with an eye for detail. Its community-driven craftsmanship promotes social inclusion, supporting local artisans in Buenos Aires while adding a unique flair to any outfit.
From the brand: El Bolsón is named after a beautiful town in Patagonia and literally translates to
"The Big Bag,"
which feels appropriate, given the scale of this thing at 20" wide x 16" tall, with a 4" base.
The Carryall is our take on the classic canvas tote bag, featuring several intentional upgrades, including vegetable-tanned leather base and handles, and a crocheted mesh pocket, which is our artisanal cherry on top.
The outer pocket is hand-made
by graduates of the
“Tejiendo el Barrio”, or Knitting the Neighborhood, initiative. Running in underserved government housing zones in Buenos Aires, the project promotes social inclusion and teaches valuable skills to local participants, providing an additional source of income and a way to showcase talent and creativity.
The reverse face shows an embroidered jaguar, as well as the two places we call home. Buenos Aires, Argentina, and Asheville, North Carolina (but that's a story for another time).
