The Woodland Shrooms tote bag is made from very strong cotton fabric which you can machine wash at 40 degrees in case your bag should get dirty. If you have a closer look at the bag, you will notice the stitching on the bag and especially the handles has been done really well. That way you can carry all of your essentials around with you that won’t fit into a small handbag: your water bottle, a book, an umbrella and even a small picnic blanket. So if you love a stroll around your local farmers market or spending the day in the park, then this mushroom tote bag is your perfect companion. On the outside, in one of the corners you will find my signature teal coloured AMPellegrini Art & Design label sewn into the hem. Featuring rich earthy tones of green and red, this mushroom tote bag sets itself apart from my other blue, purple, and floral-themed designs. It makes a thoughtful Christmas gift for your husband or dad, perfect for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. All of the illustrations for the mushroom tea towel have been hand painted and developed into a print design by myself, Anna-Maria Pellegrini. I mainly work from my studio in East London, in the UK. My background in textile design engineering means that the quality of the materials and the print are at the core of my practice. Combining bold and storytelling print designs printed onto durable and functional fabrics is the idea behind my British made tote bags range. The textiles manufacturer I work with is based in England and prints and makes the tote bags to my specifications. Over the past few years we have developed a great business relationship and both are keen to support the economy in the UK.
