The Carpet Bag pattern is a modern take on an old classic. Deceptively roomy inside, the Carpet Bag pattern is designed especially for use with the Interchangeable vintage style metal handles (sold separately). The handles are intended to be removed from one Carpet Bag and then attached to another Carpet Bag. So you could make one Carpet Bag for shopping, one for work, and another for a night out. Detach the handles from the ‘work’ bag, attach the handles to the ‘night out’ bag - and you’re set to go.
