Tote Bags Inspired by Shetland

A selection of tote bags featuring Avril Thomson Smith’s artwork. Each design draws on the same coastal light, quiet tones, and considered compositions found in her original paintings, translating them into pieces that are both practical and distinctive.

Thoughtfully produced and understated in style, these bags reflect the character of the islands without losing the integrity of the artwork itself. They are designed to be used, while still holding a connection to place.
