I turn simple cotton cords into everyday bags that tell a story. From picking the perfect color to mastering intricate knots, here is a look at the craft behind my macrame collection!

About The Art of Macrame

A common question I get is how I get the structure right without the bag being bulky. I use a combination of 3mm to 5mm recycled cotton cords and dense knotting patterns, which ensures your bag keeps its shape whether you are carrying just your phone or a full laptop.
