Step into a gentler age of promenades, parlours, and proper introductions.

This Lakeland Craft House tote features an original Victorian style engraved illustration titled: “The Devoted Pet Companion’s Carrier.” Inspired by 19th Century department store catalogues and naturalist plates.

The design depicts a dignified lady about town, faithfully accompanied by the necessities required for the comfort and reputation of her cherished animal companion.

Printed in a soft antique-ink palette on a natural cotton tote, the oval engraving retains the look of aged paper and steel-plate illustration. From a distance it reads as a curious antique advertisement; up close the humour quietly appears. It is deliberately understated; the sort of object that makes people step closer to read it.
