The BMC carryall tote draws inspiration from Ruth Asawa's repetitive "BMC" print, created at Black Mountain College. While managing the student-run laundry room, Asawa found a rubber stamp with the school’s initials. Intrigued by its design potential, she applied the stamp to fabric with varying pressure in mirrored rows, forming undulating columns. The result was an allover pattern similar to that of a woven textile.
Handcrafted in California, the carryall tote is hand-stitched and hammered with the same deliberate care that defined Asawa's work. Built for anything from markets to beach days, this bag is sure to be in your daily accessory rotation.
