We teamed up with TEMBEA to create this charming tote bag featuring a sheep pattern.
The Baguette Tote is one of TEMBEA’s long-selling items, originally conceived as a tote for carrying baguettes.
The single handle makes it easy to load and unload your things, and the wide opening means you can drop in your yarn and knitting needles and knit on the go with the bag hanging from your shoulder — a design that knitters will love. An interior pocket was added so that your phone, earphones, and other small items don’t get lost among the yarn. The tall, narrow shape makes it easy to carry on your shoulder even when longer items are inside. It fits a 16-inch laptop, so it works just as well for work, and even long knitting needles fit inside when placed diagonally. We’d love for this bag to find its way to people who may not be knitters themselves, but who are captivated by the idea of knitting.
The sheep pattern — chosen for its association with knitting — has been given a special touch with the addition of fluffy boucle trim, making for an endearingly soft and cozy design. See if you can spot the sheepdog hiding among the flock.
I’d love to pack it with whatever I’m currently knitting, my wallet, and my phone, then hop on a local train heading somewhere. Get off at some stop along the way, find a café I’ve never been to before. Have a slice of cake and knit for a while. Order the spaghetti Napolitan, eat it, knit some more. Start to feel drowsy. On the way home, I’d stumble upon an import yarn shop and pick up two or three balls of lovely mohair, then stop at the confectionery for a bag of castella offcuts. While I’m at it, I’d grab some croquettes from the butcher for dinner. Tuck everything into this bag, one thing after another. That’s the kind of peaceful, everyday scene this bag was made for. And as the sheep make their quiet statement, they just might spark a conversation with a shopkeeper or two.

We’ve compiled a list of warnings, potential issues, and tips to keep in mind for this particular product. Additionally, the color of the product may be slightly different in actuality than compared to how it appeared on a computer or smartphone screen.
The placement of the pattern will vary from bag to bag. We are unable to accommodate requests for specific pattern placements. Please be aware of this when ordering.
Store the product in a well-ventilated place whenever possible. We recommend applying a waterproofing spray, as it not only repels water but also helps prevent staining.
The color may fade due to moisture or friction. Please take particular care during washing, as color transfer may occur.
For light soiling, we recommend wiping with a damp, well-wrung cloth or spot-washing the affected area. When washing, try to do so quickly and in an environment where the bag can dry promptly. Note that scrubbing dark-colored canvas vigorously may cause the color to fade.
Please be aware that soaking the boucle trim in water may cause it to stiffen or shrink.
