Celebrate the cottage industry by carrying your craft supplies in custom bags. Cottage industries predated, and led to, the process of mass production in the Industrial Revolution. Cottage industries emerged as a way for non-land-owning, uneducated, and unskilled commoners to make a living out of their homes. They combined the processes of carding, spinning and weaving in order to make cloth. They then sold the cloth to people in the community and exported the rest. Use custom bags to harken back to the days before mass production, when clothing was handmade. Support your local artisans by buying local, and appreciate their work by trying your own hand at crafts. Keep wool and other materials in a reusable custom bag, and learn to knit or sew.
