MASALA block print tote bags – Handcrafted fabric bags with Indian craftsmanship

A block print tote bag from MASALA combines functionality with beautiful, traditional craftsmanship. Each bag is sewn from organic cotton and hand-printed with the characteristic block prints that have been an important part of India's proud textile tradition for generations.

The colourful patterns, soft cotton, and high quality make the bag a practical companion in everyday life – perfect for shopping, work, the beach, or a trip into town.

Hand-printed with traditional wooden blocks

Block printing is a centuries-old printing technique where artfully carved wooden blocks are dipped in colour and pressed onto the fabric, one pattern at a time. Each colour requires its own block, and the entire process is carried out by hand by experienced artisans.

This method gives the textiles their special charm. Small variations in the print are not flaws, but a sign that each bag is handmade and therefore has its very own unique expression.

Sewn from organic cotton

MASALA block print tote bags are made from organic cotton, which is both durable, soft, and comfortable to use. The spacious bags have plenty of room for daily groceries, books, a computer, gym clothes, or other necessities, and the wide handles make them comfortable to carry over the shoulder.

A fabric bag can be used again and again and is a beautiful alternative to single-use bags.

Responsible production

We collaborate with an environmentally conscious manufacturer in India, who works with great respect for both people and the environment, and high demands are placed on quality, working conditions, and social responsibility.

When you choose a block print tote bag from MASALA, you are also supporting the skilled artisans who keep traditional Indian crafts alive.
