Both scarves are very tasteful and elegant.

SOLD!! Giraffe Tote

Cream colored canvas tote with long handles. In the right quadrant and stretching up about two-thirds of the way up the bag is a giraffe head on a short length of neck. It's very realistic, looks like a photograph, with the giraffe facing you directly, making its nose and mouth very prominent and showing all the details of its ears, eyes, and horns. It has sort of an amusing expression.

Pick your preferred style!

Bring giraffe consciousness into your life in a stylish and eco-friendly way with a beautiful, recycled cotton tote!

These delightful giraffe totes have been donated by Craft Culture Boutique.

Both totes are the same materials, dimensions, etc. The only difference is the design -- the stately standing giraffe or the whimsical giraffe face full of personality. This bag has lots of room: great as a beach bag, diaper bag, grocery bag, plus lots more. Makes a great gift, too. Size: 19" wide x 15.5" tall x 7.5" bottom gusset and 22" handles.

These totes are a classic style that never goes out of fashion! They are a high quality XL Eco Bags made of durable, machine-washable, 10-ounce, 100-percent recycled cotton canvas! Fun fact about this bag: The recycled cotton is post-industrial and is made up of organic and natural cotton. By choosing recycled canvas, you are saving excess material scraps from a lifetime in the landfill.

The images on these bags are heat pressed using a commercial grade heat press and high quality commercial grade transfer paper that is made special for these machines. Due to the nature of the bags, there might be small imperfections.

The winning bidder may choose which style they prefer!
