You Can Take it With You. American artist Kate McRostie paints a whimsical picture of summer with her lush screen-printed design in this Summer Garden Tote. Trendy details include raffia trim, braided handles and a detachable wooden butterfly charm. Water-resistant lining with patch, zip and cell phone pockets. Zip top close. 100% cotton canvas. Imported. Back of the tote is all stripes in the same color pallet.
10"h. x 20"w. x 3.5"d.
Museum Provenance
While muses for these small treasures inhabit our Butterfly Habitat Garden, their composition is directly inspired by collections in our National Museum of American History and our Freer and Sackler Galleries of Asian art.
Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.
To long and flat. Hard to use, but it is pretty. I am going to return.

Comments about Summer Garden Tote:
The tote is lined and protects the fabric inside. Enjoyed reading about the artist who created the design. It was delivered in nice gift wrapping paper.

Comments about Summer Garden Tote:
from the picture I didn't expect the lenght - it really is more of a lenghty bag and therefore a little big for me for every day use, but it will be beautiful for the beach and whenever I need a bigger bag
