Woven Tote — Needlepoint Holly Leaves Market Bag

The DipaliZ holly tote is a market tote measuring 17 x 18 inches, printed with a needlepoint holly leaf design. The artwork imitates cross-stitch, so the leaves are built from visible square stitches rather than smooth lines. At 17 x 18 inches this is the larger end of the DipaliZ tote range. It carries a market shop or a stack of library books.

The story behind this design

Needlepoint was chosen over a painted holly because stitch artwork carries a handmade warmth that suits a winter bag, and because the grid of stitches gives the leaves a texture you can read from across a room. Greens are broken into three tones so the foliage has depth, and the berries are left as single bright squares. It looks like something inherited rather than bought.
