Studio M Squared – The Parkview Bag

Description

Parkview Bag – by Studio M Squared

Do you ever wish your tote or project bag would just open up more so you can access everything thats down in the bottom of it? The Parkview is a clever bag designed to do just that. The split sides allow the top of the bag to open wider than a regular tote, and even fold down completely, converting the bag to a basket of sorts! Once folded, you can much more easily find what you need in the bottom of the bag and in the pockets. Two sizes included both are great for knitting or craft projects; large bag is also perfect for the pool or beach.

Features: Drawstring and magnetic snap closures at top. 7 interior pockets.

Small Bag: 15 wide at top, 10 wide at bottom, 13 tall, 5 deep (38 cm at top, 25 cm at bottom, 33 cm tall, 12.7 cm deep)
