I have been using it as a work bag for four months and it has not stretched at all. The handles are worked right into the fabric so there is nothing to come loose.
Sana / Everyday tote
Handmade in small batches
Every bag starts as one long thread.
Totes, bucket bags and granny-square shoulder bags, crocheted stitch by stitch in cotton yarn. No two come out quite the same — that is the point.

Who makes these
A one-woman studio, a very large basket of yarn
This started with one bag, made for a friend who kept losing tote handles. Word travelled. Now every piece is still made the same way — sat down with a hook, a pattern in my head, and a colour I have been waiting for an excuse to use.

How it is made
Four stages, one continuous thread
Crochet cannot be done by machine. Each loop has to be pulled through the last one by hand, which is why a bag takes a day and not a minute.
Yarn is chosen
Cotton, in a colour that has been sitting in the basket waiting for the right shape. Colour decides the bag as much as the pattern does.
The base is worked in rounds
Every bag starts flat and spirals outward from a magic ring, so the base has no seam to give out under weight.
Sides, handles, then lining
The body goes up in rows, handles are worked into the fabric rather than sewn on, and a cotton canvas lining goes in by hand.
Blocked, checked, packed
Damp-blocked so the stitches sit square, checked over for loose ends, and wrapped. Nine to fourteen hours, start to finish.

Ordered in a green that I could not find anywhere else. Arrived in five days, lined properly, and the colour is exactly what was on the screen.
Mehreen / Granny square shoulder bag★★★★★
Bought two as gifts and ended up keeping one. You can tell it is made by a person — the little differences are the best bit.
