If you have already taken a closer look at our products, you have perhaps wondered about the names of our tote bag colors and why we have chosen such obscure names. Well, as the name reveals, every Tote bag has its' story, and in our case, naturally so has their colors. Our colors have been named after places in the world that inspire us, and that in ways well represent the color of choice. A small note on each color of inspiration...
FALSTERBO OCEAN & FALSTERBO SKY
Falsterbo is our home! Situated on the very southern coast of Sweden, we are surrounded by the deep blue oceans of the Baltic Sea, long stretched white sandy beaches and beautiful nature reserves. The oceans around Falsterbo change greatly in color with the seasons, from a deep, cool blue in winter, to a bright turquoise in the summer. Always beautiful, despite winters being very long! Needless to say, a place where the environment inspires us in everyday life and motivates us to be kind to the wonderful world we live in.
SKANÖR SUNSET
Skanör is our beautiful neighbor, a little town closely connected with our home Falsterbo. In the old days, it was actually "Skanör with Falsterbo", which might as well be, considering our total population of around 8.000 people live as one. Located on a small peninsula at the southernmost part of Sweden, we are blessed with most amazing sunsets. Summer nights are best spent on the beach or at the harbor in Skanör, watching the sun go down in an ocean of red, orange, pink and coral.
DEERFIELD GREEN
Deerfield used to be my home ... or at least was so for 2 of the most memorable, event filled and important years of my life! The little town Deerfield is located in western Massachusetts in the United States and is home to a wonderful boarding school named Deerfield Academy.

One could say that those years laid the founding for the businesses I later started, based on my love for "personalize everything". At Deerfield we literally had our name on everything ... perhaps more of a practical reason than anything else, but I loved it nonetheless! Everything about Deerfield is Green ... the surrounding corn fields, lush trees, the team colors, locker room tiles, school buses, running tracks, auditorium chairs, dining hall trays ... the painted faces at school championships - Go Green!
HAMNEDA FOREST
Nestled deep into the forest of the region of Småland in Sweden, lays the small village of Hamneda, my second home! In contrast to the southern coasts open fields and oceans, Småland offers dense forests with old pines, a rich wild life with moose, deer, and wild boar, endless of mushrooms and berries to pick and lakes for excellent fishing. A perfect getaway to clear your head and find inspiration from the nature and wildlife around you.
CALCUTTA BLACK
Not only is Calcutta, the home of our production, but it is also an impressive, hysterical, chaotic and crazy city with no other like. In Calcutta, it is hard to avoid taking notice of the dirt and decay, even if this has nothing to do with why the city has been named "The Black City". This name has come, perhaps most famously from the many Europeans imprisoned in the Black Hole of Calcutta, but also from that a finger of the black Goddess Kali fell here when Shiva was carrying her dead body. Kali is the goddess of death and time, but also a strong mother-figure embodying feminine energy and creativity, wh
