Best of Etsy: Knit bags

Are you a big fan of upcycling? Then you’ll love this knit tassel bag from Honeybea Designhive (also on Facebook). Two recycled knit sweaters make up this large and cozy bohemian-chic bag, so you’re doing your style and the earth a favour every time you sling it over you shoulder. The shop has plenty more similarly designed bags made with different patterns and colours, so you can find the look that suits your tastes.

The talented folks at NicuNeedles (also on Facebook) spend their days creating handmade items for sick and premature babies. So not only can you feel good about buying their beautiful creations because you’ll be supporting a worthy cause, but you can also rest assured that their experience allows them to produce some beautiful, high-quality items. This ruffle knit purse, for example, is a unique, elegant addition to your wardrobe any time of the year.

If you’re tired of going shopping with unattractive reusable bags, then you’ll love this colourful hand-knit tote from Blondies Bags & Retro Throwbacks (also on Facebook). It’s the perfect size for a quick grocery run or a trip to the mall, and the fun colours will make it a stylish addition to your wardrobe all year long.

On the hunt for a relaxed purse you can sport on a day-to-day basis? This cable-knit purse created by Hilary’s Hats… and custom knitting (also on Facebook) is a cozy way to tote around all your necessities. The bag comes in all sorts of bright colours, so you can have it customized to your particular style.
