One pouch. Sixteen fabrics. Pick your favorite.
The Small fabric zipper pouch is the workhorse of the shop — 3.5 × 5", cotton loop tab for a key-ring or carabiner, YKK zipper. The fabric is the part you get to argue about.

What folks say after the jute bow comes off.
"Picked the moon phases, gave one to my sister, kept one for keys. Both of us are obsessed. Fabric is heavier than I expected — in a good way."
"The bread bag arrived tied with a jute bow and the loaf went in immediately. Stayed soft three days. Worth every penny."
"Shells answered a fabric-substitution question on a Sunday. The pouch is beautiful but the human behind it is the reason I'll buy again."
