Each janzibar tote is truly unique as they are made from one sweater. Lined with a recycled shirt keeping the button placket and breast pocket intact with an additional slip pocket on the inside.
The straps are made from recycled cordoroy, denim, or upholstery fabric worn easily over the shoulder.
Recycled zippers are fashioned into a floret “doodad” handsewn on sides of the bags.
Most bags are approximately 16″ x 18″.





Hi,
I recently purchased one of your sweater totes – can’t tell you how much I love it! While shopping for a gift the other day, one of your sweater totes just caught my attention – the shape of it reminded me of a bag that an aunt of mine brought back for me from Greece many, many years ago. Then when I read how it was made from an old sweater & all recycled materials inside & out I just had to buy it. I can just imagine what the original sweater looked liked and the zipper doodads are so clever! I plan to shop for more of your creations for myself or as gifts.
Hi – I’m thrilled that you purchased a tote and that it reminds you of something from your aunt. What store was it where you found the bag? Thanks again, Jan
I bought it at Imagine Artwear in Alexandria, Virginia. Since my last comment, I’ve also purchased one of your scarves from the same store – in time for this frigid weather we’re having now!!
