Handmade Crochet Messenger & Mesh Bags
Practical, roomy, and handmade. My messenger bags are perfect for daily carry, and these mesh styles are my go-to for beach days or summer hangs.

About Everyday Messenger & Mesh Bags
These bags aren't stiff or structured like mass-produced ones. Because they are 100% crochet, they have a soft, slouchy feel that naturally molds to whatever you put inside, whether it’s a tablet or just your daily essentials. Keep in mind they are unlined, so they are lightweight but meant for light-to-medium carry.
Why these styles?
I love making these because they actually get used. The messenger bags are designed for when you need to carry your life around—tablets, notebooks, water bottles—and they feature a wide strap so they don't dig into your shoulder. The mesh bags? They’re essentially just for vibes, sunshine, and beach days.
How to customize
Everything is made to order in my Mumbai studio. You pick the base color and the accent trim, so your bag is unique to you. I use 100% washable acrylic yarn because it holds its shape while staying soft. If you want a specific vibe, just let me know and we can pick a yarn shade together.
A few things to know
- No zippers: The messenger bags use button or magnetic snap closures for that slouchy look.
- Maintenance: Since it's handmade crochet, try not to overload them with heavy metal or sharp objects that might snag the yarn.
- Timing: Since it’s just me doing all the work, please give me a bit of time to crochet your bag from scratch.
Crochet
Hi! I’m from Mumbai and I’ve been teaching myself crochet for two years now. Every stitch you see is done by me, and I honestly get so hyped when I see people actually wearing the bags I made.
