Description
A funny Jane Austen tote bag that asks what she would do and carries your books while you decide. Austen would probably observe quietly, write something devastating, and carry a very good bag.
- All over print on both sides. The design wraps the whole bag rather than sitting in a small square.
- Medium weight 200 gsm polyester with double stitched seams, so it holds its shape under a full stack of books.
- Boxed corners and a non woven laminate interior give it structure and guard against spills.
- Three sizes with comfortable black cotton handles, made to order and shipped from the USA.
It makes a classical literature gift for Janeites with a sense of humor and friends who quote Mr. Bennet at family gatherings. Carry it to book club, brunch, or any situation requiring Regency levels of composure.
