“Nothing says ‘summer’ to me quite like stripes. Paired with breezy linen, Argestes is my idea of a perfect summer knitting project - a few unusual construction techniques make this bag engaging enough for a long road trip, while surprisingly sturdy Sparrow makes the finished tote both stylish and practical for all your summer adventures. Perfect for fresh veggies from the farmer’s market or your latest beach-combing treasures.” - designer, Emily Greene
