I’ve called it “The Portuguese Summer Market Bag”.

The inspiration came from my recent trip back home, Portugal, and symbolizes my family reunion post this whole pandemic mess. My attention was drawn particularly to the Portuguese Tiles, so the base of the bag has a mix between this traditional pieces and my own crochet style, which I don’t have defined yet (and I don’t have to) but it’s something between modern and boho crochet.

This bag has a very special place in my heart and I hope you enjoy it. It’s a very mindful pattern due to all the texture on the base, and you’ll rock any trip to the market or to the beach with all these Portuguese vibes surrounding you.
