Handmade with Purpose, Designed to Last

At Butterfly Stitch Shop, every tote is thoughtfully handmade in small batches using carefully selected fabrics—including beautiful upcycled textiles that give new life to materials with their own unique story.

Unlike factory-made bags produced by the thousands, each tote is individually cut, quilted, sewn, and finished with care. Because many of the fabrics are available only in limited quantities, only a few bags can ever be made in each design.

That means when you carry one of our totes, you're carrying something genuinely special—crafted with attention to detail, made to be used every day, and unlikely to be seen on everyone else.

We believe everyday essentials should be both beautiful and practical. That's why every Butterfly Stitch Shop tote is created to combine timeless style, lasting durability, and the kind of quality you'll reach for again and again.

Small batch. Handmade. Created to be treasured.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is every tote really handmade?

Yes! Every Butterfly Stitch Shop tote is individually cut, quilted, sewn, and finished by hand in small batches. We never use mass production, so each bag receives the attention to detail it deserves.

Why are only a few available?

Many of our totes are made using limited-quantity or upcycled fabrics. Once a fabric is gone, we often can't source it again, making every collection naturally limited.

What can this tote hold?

This tote is designed for everyday use and comfortably fits your daily essentials, including a laptop (up to 15"), notebook, wallet, phone, water bottle, makeup pouch, keys, and more.

Is the tote machine washable?

Yes! For best results, machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and lay flat or hang to dry. This helps preserve the fabric and quilting for years to come.

Is this a one-of-a-kind design?

Because our bags are handmade in very small batches, you'll rarely see someone carrying the exact same tote. Each collection is produced in limited quantities, making your bag feel truly unique.

How long will it take to receive my order?

Orders are carefully packaged and typically ship within our current processing time listed at checkout. You'll receive tracking information as soon as your tote is on its way.

Do you restock sold-out bags?

Usually, no. Since many of our fabrics are one-time finds or available only in small quantities, sold-out designs are often retired permanently. If you love one, we recommend purchasing before it's gone. The only tote bags that can be restocked are the jelly roll tote bags like this yellow one.
