Bohça Çanta

Turkish Bohça Çantas are almost identical to the Japanese Katakake Fukuro. They are only turned once during knotting, so the side knots are on the inside of the bag. Created in seconds, the bag can be used to carry products (e.g., items purchased at the grocery store or farmer's market). They fit neatly into this eco-friendly tote, which is adjustable to all sizes.
