Frequently asked questions

No. The Daily Essential Bag is intentionally designed without a closure, allowing you to easily slide your phone in and out whenever you need it. The snug crochet construction helps keep your phone secure while avoiding zips, buttons, or magnets that could scratch or damage your device.

Every Daily Essential Bag is handmade, so each piece has its own character. Depending on the colour and batch of t-shirt yarn used, some bags may feel slightly chunkier and more structured, while others may have a softer, smoother drape. This is a natural characteristic of handmade crochet and makes every bag unique

Not always. Each colourway is produced in very limited quantities, with only 1 to 5 bags made in each colour for every drop. Once a colour sells out, it may not return, making each release feel unique and exclusive. If you see a colour you love, we recommend securing it before it's gone.
