A mini tote bag is a must-have for dog walking, especially one that can conveniently sort and store small items. The featured tote comes with pockets on the outside and inside, and even a bottle holder. The fabric used for this bag is a dog pattern from the “Pictorial Book Series.” The design introduces various canines including Akita and Shiba Inu. The 100% cotton oxford fabric is easy to sew and is a perfect material for bag making.
