Some bags carry your things. Ruta carries your day. Handwoven from organic cotton, this cheerful checkered tote is ready for farmers markets, beach books, bakery detours, and those "I'm just popping out for one thing" trips that somehow require a tote. It's lined with unbleached cotton for a little extra structure and finished with A World of Craft's signature hand-embroidered yellow bird. Tiny bird. Big charm.

Made by a World Fair Trade Organization (WFTO) member using organic cotton, Ruta is proof that everyday essentials can look good, do good, and make your outfit happier while they're at it.

Care & Use

Treat it gently—spot clean or give it a warm hand wash (40°C / 104°F). Skip the bleach, skip the dryer, and let it air dry flat. A quick low-heat iron is fine, just don’t steamroll the bird.

Who's Behind the Design

A World of Craft has been putting global craftsmanship on the map since 1967 (back when it was known as Afroart). From Stockholm to studios around the world, they team up with artisans across Africa, Asia, and Latin America to keep traditional crafts alive—and thriving. Fair Trade isn’t a buzzword here, it’s the baseline. The result? Colorful, soulful, and skillful pieces that carry entire stories in every stitch, weave, or carving.
