These pastel tote bags are everything! Following a zero-waste process, Eloiseetmoi uses kitchen scraps, natural extracts, plants, leaves, and roots to naturally dye these gorgeous bags in her studio in New Mexico. Gorgeous as they are, you can also use them to embroider some nice botanical patterns on them. How cool would that be?!
