Cute Fall Style :: UMs Fun Modern Tote Pattern, Made Fresh in San Francisco, California

Almost like a second spring, fall style brings the promise of a fresh start because as leaves fall and dance with our feet, branches create new patterns in the sky. In this spirit, wear this surplus pressed wool felt pattern on your beautiful branches:


UM TOTE:

“As tall as a bottle of wine — as wide as a bundled-up Sunday Times..

UMs totes developed from two creative challenges: The first, to make use of the unique properties of pressed wool felt, and the second, to transform a flat surface into a volume using only the simplest of operations. When unzipped, UMs lay completely flat for cleaning and easy storage — and when zipped, they become inspired forms with inherent functionality.”

The totes are sewn with:

  • two layers of industrial wool felt left from factory excess.
  • It has a self-locking zipper.
  • As a natural material that might otherwise go to waste, most would consider it eco-friendly.
  • All UMs are cut and sewn in the San Francisco Bay Area.

UMs come in “quintessential color: grey.” Zipper also available in Blue, green, or orange.

Available at Room 68.
