This is a lovely tote and the fabrics used in the photo look really classy! I could also see this done in a rich tapestry, which could also be taken from remnants of good high end fabrics at a reduced cost or from your stash! Sometimes you have really nice fabrics that aren't enough to complete a big project and this has smaller pieces which would lend itself to this tote. Great project!
