Necla Tote Bag from Recycled Turkish Rug

A roomy tote bag made from a reclaimed Turkish rug, ready for daily essentials, market runs and weekend travel without looking utilitarian.

Necla is handmade from richly textured wool with bold Anatolian patterning in deep red, charcoal, cream, rust and touches of green. Geometric medallions fill the main field, framed by darker borders, and a soft cream fringe runs along the top edge. Sturdy burnt-orange leather shoulder straps and a small leather tab with a brass D-ring finish the structured square silhouette.

At 50 cm wide and 50 cm high it sits as a proper carry-all rather than a slim shopper, with enough presence to pair with a simple coat or linen layers. Each bag uses a different rug fragment, so the exact motif and colour balance are unique to this piece. It works as a statement accessory hung by the door or carried through the city.
