Handcrafted T-Shirt Yarn Crochet Handbags
Compact, sturdy, and full of personality. These handmade crochet totes are my go-to for adding a bit of sparkle or color to an outfit, whether it's the signature 'Golden Girl' or a soft lilac everyday bag.
This is my showstopper, the 'Golden Girl' bag. I hand-crochet each one from metallic t-shirt yarn, making it a perfect statement piece for when you want to feel that extra bit of sparkle. It's sturdy, stylish, and made with so much love.
Here’s another look at the 'Golden Girl' bag, worn over the shoulder with its sling strap. It’s designed to be a mini handbag, perfect for carrying your essentials while adding a touch of handmade glamour to your outfit.

About Crochet Handbags
Since these are made from sturdy t-shirt yarn, the structure holds its shape remarkably well for a mini bag. You can easily fit your phone, keys, and cardholder inside, and I include a detachable chain so you can switch between a handheld tote and a shoulder bag whenever the mood strikes.
My bags are not just about the look, though I admit I have a weakness for the shimmer of the metallic 'Golden Girl'. I use thick, high-quality t-shirt yarn because it creates a dense, semi-structured weave that doesn't flop around. It is tough enough to handle daily use while still feeling soft to the touch.
Why I love this style
- The Texture: T-shirt yarn provides a substantial, durable feel that standard wool just cannot match.
- Versatility: The open-top design makes it easy to grab your essentials on the go. Plus, the removable tassels add that extra bit of drama to your outfit.
- Customization: Whether you want the metallic gold, a vibrant red, soft lilac, or a fun blue floral print, I can match the piece to your wardrobe.
I make these to order here in Mumbai, so no two bags are identical. If you are looking for a unique accessory that leans into slow fashion, these are for you. Have a specific colour in mind? Just ask, and we can figure out what works best for your vibe.
