Proudly presenting: the POPstar Tote.
This is the largest bag I have designed to date, and the journey to get here has been a long one. Every construction choice has been tested, adjusted, and refined until it felt right. The result is a bag that brings together structure, elegant details, and thoughtfully engineered solutions, balanced in a way that makes it both a statement piece and a dependable everyday companion.
The exterior is clean and confident, with clear lines and a structured presence that stands on its own. The interior is generously built, layered with functional details that make organization intuitive, whether you are packing for work, a weekend away, or both at once.
This is a bag for those who want to sew something that looks refined and performs beautifully in real life.
Take a closer look at the photos to see what awaits. At the bottom of the page, you will find a complete overview of the materials and supplies needed to sew the POPstar Tote.
The pattern consists of 100 pages of thorough instructions and detailed photos that guide you confidently through the entire process.
The instructions are designed specifically for digital use. You do not need to print 100 pages. The pattern works best on a tablet or computer, where you can zoom in on details and use clickable links for smooth and efficient navigation. The pattern pieces are provided in a separate file and are printed independently.
The POPstar Tote is available at a launch price of NOK 139 for the first 48 hours after release. This corresponds to approximately USD 13. After the launch period, the regular price will be NOK 165, approximately USD 15–16.
All prices are listed in Norwegian kroner (NOK). Payments are processed via Stripe and PayPal, and the final amount charged in your local currency may vary slightly depending on the current exchange rate and your payment provider.
