Oregon grows good food and this Harvest Market Bag will make it easy to shop or collect with sophistication. The garter stitch bottom and handles add strength and durability to the project and provide a lovely contrast to the simple stockinette body which really allows the beauty of this organic fair trade cotton to shine.
