The It's a Rock Fact Tote - Canvas tote upcycled using upholstery fabric and deadstock denim

Named after the Rock Fact from Over the Garden Wall, this piece is made from an Upcycled Canvas Tote, upholstery fabric samples, and deadstock denim and canvas.

This bag features a handmade appliquéd rock fact, 100% mercerized cotton thread details, machine stitched It's a Rock Fact text on scrap fabric, a deadstock denim wavy frame, and a tag on the inside made from fabric scraps. The appliqué alone took about 4.5 hours to complete, leading to the higher price point on this item. In total, this piece took 6.5 hours to create.

Due to the secondhand nature of the materials used for this bag, there may be signs of wear. I did my best to capture the condition of the piece in the available photos.

Sustainability Statement

Each piece is made as sustainably as possible with the intention to not add more fabric to the landfill and an attempt to be as close to zero-waste as possible. I source all of the clothing from thrift stores and all of the quilted pieces, quilts, and remnants are second-hand. I also try to source as much of my sewing thread and embroidery thread second-hand as much as possible, while reusing packaging materials as well.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

Due to the vintage and delicate nature of the upcycled materials and quilt patches, these pieces are hand-wash and line or rack dry only. I also recommend spot cleaning when possible to extend the life of your garment or accessory

TWO HOWLING LABS GUARANTEE:

If the embroidery thread* comes undone, each piece comes with a lifetime guarantee and I will repair the stitching free of cost. For handmade items, I will repair any rips or tears that occur due to improper stitching or manufacturing.

*Please note: the guarantee only applies to the added work on the garment, not the thrifted item itself. I also cannot repair items that haven't been up-kept with the above care instructions. If you have a larger repair (ie: a hole develops somewhere on the thrifted clothing item), I can repair these for a small fee and the cost of shipping.
