This Hawaii-inspired tote bag brings a playful mood to farmers’ market mornings, beach days, and weekend wanderings. Carry a touch of leafy calm wherever the day leads. 

The bamboo grove that was the subject matter for the original watercolor painting I created was dense and dark and there was a stillness...as if it knew something I didn’t. It exuded a mystery that I wanted to capture in my painting, hence the title Zen Bamboo. 

The bamboo was silky smooth, an orangey-yellow color with beautiful deep green stripes. I wondered what critters lived in the dark recesses. Maybe mongoose? The 15 foot tall stalks swayed in the gentle ocean breezes coming off the coast.

The boxed corners give extra space for market finds, books, or a light layer. Choose from two sizes to match your own rhythm. The larger 16" x 16" bag is large enough to pack your essentials for a beach day or overnight stay.

The durable polyester canvas fabric is a perfect medium for the watercolor painting image, allowing the colors to maintain their saturated jewel tones. This bag is sure to be your go-to for years to come. 

Straps measure 14" from top edge of bag to top of shoulder. Black lining laminate renders the bag waterproof with double stitching reinforcing the seams.
