Olwen.

This hare cloth bag is meant for real use: the market run, the bread, the fruit that's expensive this year, whatever comes up, there and back. It suits Olwen, who fills the bag once for herself and once for the older neighbor she brings the errands to on Tuesdays. She doesn't make a story of it; she just loads up and delivers.

In the portrait you only see the serious face, a hare with tall ears and a calm gaze. The rest I tell in her story; it doesn't fit on cloth.

Here's a detail that suits this bag perfectly. Olwen throws away no string (or much of anything, truth be told): in her shed there's a whole drawer of saved pieces, just in case, sorted by length. A hare like that and a reusable bag make a good pair. It's an object for using. For really using, day after day.

The portrait is an all-over print on both sides, on a white background, with yellow handles. You sling it over your shoulder, use it daily, and there it stays. If you like how she works, I have the backpack with the same Olwen for when there's more to carry.
