Evergreen Conny - the shopper 1/20
Evergreen Conny - the shopper 1/20
This handmade, limited edition bag is a special memento of Schiedam’s windmill heritage. After a good lifetime’s service at Molen De Walvisch in Schiedam, this sail was deemed no longer up to the task of whipping around in the wind anymore. But it is perfect for our handsome range of shoppers.
Only 20 bags have been made from a single sailcloth, and each one is unique.
This bag is the perfect shape and size to fill with baking supplies you picked up at the windmill shop, or veggies and cheese from the market.
Evergreen Conny is the shopping bag for all seasons, and is lined in one of three gorgeous shades of green.
We named this carry-all after a very creative Dutch woman who knows absolutely everything about shopping.
Hand-made in South Holland by Mohammed, from the Rotterdams Handwerk team of home workers.
Number 1 in the series of 20
Key details
While the range of shopper shapes and detailing is the same, each upcycled fabric section is slightly different, so the colours and markings on the canvas of your purchase will differ from all the others in the range - each bag is unique
Stylish and useful, unquestionably
By upcycling this sail, we have saved another piece of otherwise useful textile from unnecessarily going into landfill. Well done you and us
Conny is is named after Conny-Joanna van Klink, retail guru from the Dordrechts Museum, and an early supporter of the Mill Made initiative. Thank you, Conny
