Charlotte, NC based company Not Made in China is known for their tongue in cheek designed goods, and I’m in love with their newest project, totes that read “When life gives you hands, make handmade.” Designer Nikki Mueller’s partner and boyfriend Cory Clinton did the hand-lettering. The tote bags are screen printed and the perfect size to carry, as Nikki reports, “a laptop, four boxes of Wheat Thins, six Barbara Streisand records, eight skeins of yarn or seventy-three plastic Easter eggs.”
Each bag comes wrapped with a 1.25″ button of the same design… “so you can still rock the saying during the unlikely occasion you are sans tote.”
Poster version coming soon!
