£68.50

Adding to Cart Added to Cart

Crafted from generously quilted GOTS-certified organic cotton twill, the merlot tote is customised with hand-appliquéd neon racing stripes, added one by one by our tailors. Each placement is slightly different, meaning no two are ever the same. Each one is its own small work of art.

An oversized bow softens the silhouette, while the structured quilting and internal zipped pocket keep it grounded and practical. Spacious, beautifully made, and designed to be used often.

Lovingly presented in one of our iconic Bombaby dust bags; thoughtfully made for pieces worth keeping.

Pre-order: 1-2 weeks.

Deceptively spacious yet lightweight, designed for comfortable everyday use.

Dimensions: Opening length 55 cm; base length 40 cm; H36 × W16 cm
(Opening 21.5"; base 16"; H14" × W6").

Designed for versatility, this tote is fully reversible, easily foldable, and ideal for travel.

Recently upgraded with added piping for extra structure and a handy internal pocket for smaller essentials.

The perfect in-between size, lighter than our weekend bag and ideal for shopping trips, beach days, gym sessions, or poolside plans.

Handcrafted from 100% Indian block-printed, quilted GOTS certified organic cotton, printed using azo-free dyes. No synthetics, just beautifully breathable fabric.

Each bag is one of a kind. Subtle ink splashes, print variations, and differences in linings or trims are part of the handmade process and celebrate its artisan charm.

Spot clean when needed and avoid harsh chemicals or tumble drying to keep your tote looking its best.

Handle with care. While spacious and sturdy, these totes are designed for everyday essentials rather than heavy overloading.

Ethical | Bespoke | Handmade

Every Bombaby piece is a labour of love, not mass production. Designed in Rutland and handcrafted in Jaipur, our bespoke block print bedding and quilted accessories take 4–6 weeks to create - from hand-blocking and stitching, to quilting and their voyage from India to the UK.

Each fabric is printed to order by skilled artisans using the centuries-old technique of hand block printing - an intricate process where wooden blocks are hand-carved, dipped in natural dyes, and carefully pressed onto fabric, layer by layer. Because of this, you may notice small smudges, ink splashes, or slight variations in the print - these are not flaws, but the hallmarks of true craftsmanship.

To reduce waste, we also use surplus fabrics for linings, piping, and trims - so colours and patterns may vary slightly from batch to batch. This only adds to the bespoke, one-of-a-kind nature of our designs.

Unlike factory-made textiles, no two pieces are ever identical, making your item truly unique. These handcrafted details are a badge of authenticity, celebrating slow fashion, tradition, and artistry.

We also print to order to minimise waste and plant a tree for every purchase, helping to offset emissions.
