New from Steele - The Mini Tote

Photos of/by Muffy Aldrich

Massachusetts based Steele Canvas has introduced their new Mini Totes, made of their signature heavyweight cotton canvas, offered in four colors, and Made in Massachusetts.

What I particularly like about these, on top of the two colors that are (and I mean this in the technical sense of the word) adorable, is that they are not "too mini".   I just cannot begin to put all of my stuff in most mini totes.  These are much closer in size - almost identical - to the Bean Small.   It is, as one person said, "aimed for utility while still being a cute carry".

And - it has an inside pocket.
