Otter Steps Tote Bag
Step, step, slide! The playful steps and the iconic belly slide of the river otter is honored in this traditional Ojibwe pattern called "otter steps," and lovingly adapted by Anishinaabe/Ojibwe artist Sarah Agaton Howes for our Otter Steps Tote Bag. Traditionally seen on beadwork, quillwork, and appliqué, this historic pattern is undergoing a modern-day renaissance with contemporary Ojibwe artists. Here, Sarah has given the otter steps pattern her own twist by incorporating her signature Woodlands-style florals and a pastel color palette. Otter step fact: North American river otters can run up to 15 miles per hour, and slide even faster! 100% cotton 18.5 in W x 12.5 in H x 7.5"D / 46.99 cm W x 30.48 cm H x 19.05 cm D Main compartment opens up 7.5 in wide Main compartment has a brass snap closure Interior pocket has a zipper closure; 7.75 in W x 8 in H / 19.05 cm H x 20.32 cm D Imported Thank you for supporting Inspired Natives®, not "Native-inspired."
