Do you ever wish your tote or project bag would just open up more so you can access everything that’s down in the bottom of it? The Parkview is a clever bag designed to do just that. The split sides allow the top of the bag to open wider than a regular tote, and even fold down completely, converting the bag to a basket of sorts! Once folded, you can much more easily find what you need in the bottom of the bag and in the pockets. Two sizes included – both are great for knitting or craft projects; large bag is also perfect for the pool or beach.
Features: Drawstring and magnetic snap closure at top. 7 interior pockets.
Finished bag dimensions:
Small Bag: 15” wide at top, 10” wide at bottom, 13” tall, 5” deep (38 cm at top, 25 cm at bottom, 33 cm tall, 12.7 cm deep)
Large Bag: 19” wide at top, 12-1/2” wide at bottom, 16” tall, 7” deep (48 cm at top, 32 cm at bottom, 41 cm tall, 18 cm deep)
