Cat Tapestry Tote Bag

Cat Tapestry Designs

Tapestry is a unique form of textile art created in such a way that the threads create a colorful pattern or image. Tapestries were originally used to decorate the walls of palaces and castles in Europe. The use of tapestry in a tote or purse lends a rich, dimensional feel to the bag that is out of the ordinary.

Cat tapestry totes are available with various images and designs. Sizes range from mini totes to oversize bags, and image designs run the gamut from being focused on a single cat to a group of many cats. The cat designs also vary from fun cartoon cats to lifelike renditions of the animals. Colors might be bright and fanciful with a background in stripes, dots, or other fun looks – or they may more neutral with solid backgrounds or nature scenes.

Over the last decade, personal style sensibilities have been encouraged more than ever. This certainly comes into play with a handbag or tote, a functional accessory that can also showcase a bit about the wearer's personality. In the case of cat totes, women can show off their love for their creatures in elegant or fun styles, whatever suits their personality and the situation best. These can also serve as great conversation starters, and other cat lovers can find instant camaraderie.
