This sling bag is a perfect example of what Knit-Wit is all about: giving beautiful materials a second life.

The Transformation

This piece started its journey as a soft corduroy hoodie—a classic garment that was destined for the landfill. Instead, I gave it a glorious reinvention. The result is a surprisingly chic, textured sling bag that is as conscious as it is cool.

Handcrafted Details

I obsess over the details that make an upcycled piece feel special:

• Exterior: The cozy, ribbed texture of the upcycled corduroy creates a lovely casual feel.

• The Signature Pop: Look closely! The floral fabric I used for the lining is also carefully crafted into the exterior piping. This detail perfectly frames the bag and ties the whole look together.

• Interior: Open it up to a sweet, contrasting floral lining and an inner pocket—a little unexpected joy that makes finding your keys easier.

• Sustainability: Every stitch is a commitment to slow fashion. You get a unique, high-quality accessory while helping reduce textile waste.

• Perfect Size: Approximately 11" wide × 9" tall × 5" deep—ideal for daily essentials 

Wear a Piece with Purpose

This bag is built for your everyday adventures. It’s a stylish statement that tells the world you value creativity, sustainability, and owning pieces with a real story.
