The Braided Boho Bag, an original Toriska pattern, is a beginner friendly and stylish tote bag. It is available in two sizes, the Large size that is the perfect tote size, and the Small size that works well for kids and teenagers or a smaller bag for adults. The Braided Boho Bag can be made in either woven fabric or knit fabric, and the pattern gives instructions on how to achieve a structured or slouchy look with various interfacings. The tote bag is lined and is turned through an interior pocket or side seam.
