Introducing Hopkins Studio bags: handmade in Chicago by a woman-owned, woman-run company.
In a market awash with options for knitters to tote around their WIPs, these stand out. Emonie Hopkins has chosen rich, on-trend fabrics and crafted seven different bag styles. Fully lined with contrasting fabrics, these bags close expertly with snaps and zippers.

Grab these bags while they’re hot, because we expect them to go fast.
You’ll be knitting in style!
