The Aberdeen Tote by Hammerstitch - Printed Paper Pattern

A grown-up crossbody tote with room for real life.

The Aberdeen Tote is the bag you reach for on the long days: work, school pickup, gym, groceries, dinner out. Twelve inches tall with a roomy base and five pockets (three outside, two inside), it swallows your everyday hauls without losing its shape or its style. Add the leather carry handles for extra versatility, or keep it clean with just the crossbody strap.

The leather strap, handles, and optional keychain tassel give this bag its signature look. It's the kind of tote that quietly steals the show at coffee shops, in the school parking lot, and on the plane.
