The Costermonger is the essential market tote designed as a backpack - a simple satisfying sew that uses little fabric so ideal for using up some of your remnants.

Merchant and Mills was set up in 2010 in Rye, to bring style and purpose to the world of sewing. Merchant and Mills source unique and beautiful fabrics from around th world, and their new patterns and products emerge slowly and purposefully. Their ethos is to respect the roots of sewing, from trade to home dressmaking, to enable and inspire more people to find joy and satisfaction in the process of making.

We also stock the Costermonger Hardware - the kit contains nickel sliders, rivets and leather straps.
