❧ ❦ ❧

Drawn by Hand in Small-Town Ohio — Her Last Autumn Collection

Lorraine Kessler, 68, has drawn every one of these autumn scenes herself, at the same table, for forty years. This is her final collection: the studio she's worked in is being torn down, and once these are gone, there won't be more. Sold only through Marlow Market Co.

"I've drawn for as long as I can remember. The totes started as favors — a hedgehog for a friend's granddaughter, the squirrel that raids my feeder every October. I never really sold them; they went hand to hand. These are the last."

— Lorraine Kessler, Millersburg, Ohio

Why This Tote

Six Things That Set It Apart

No stock clip-art and no render trickery — just an autumn scene one person actually drew, on a bag that's honest about what it is.

◆ Design

Lorraine's Own Artwork

Every scene — the hedgehogs, the squirrel, the harvest pumpkins — was drawn by hand at her table and printed into the cloth. It's her work from the first pencil line to the last, not a pattern pulled off a shelf.

◆ Fabric

Quilted Cotton With Real Body

A soft cotton face with an all-over quilted texture that gives the tote its shape and helps it stand up when it's full. You feel the difference the moment you pick it up.

◆ Room

Roomy Yet Light — 15 × 14 in

Deep enough for a market haul, a stack of library books, or a whole day's odds and ends — and light enough to live on your shoulder all day.

◆ Handles

Double-Stitched to Carry

The handles are stitched down twice to take a real load, not just to photograph well — so a full bag rides comfortably from the car to the door.

◆ Honesty

The Bag in the Photo Is the Bag in the Box

No inflated renders: the size on the page is the size you'll get, and the picture is the tote that turns up at your door. If it's not for you, it goes back — no fuss.

◆ Scarcity

Final Collection — No Reorders

Around 600 totes, then the studio comes down for good. There's no apprentice and no restock. When this run is gone, it's gone.

◆ A Word From Lorraine

"There are cheaper autumn totes out there, and some of them look just fine in a photo. All I'll promise you is that the drawing is mine, the size on the page is the size you'll get, and the bag in the picture is the bag in the box. I'd sooner tell you plainly than have you open the parcel and feel let down."

Quality Promise

Five Things You Get With Every Tote

Designed by Lorraine — Her Own Drawing Every scene is her original artwork, printed into the cloth. No stock clip-art, no pattern off a shelf.
Quilted Cotton — Holds Its Shape A soft cotton face with an all-over quilted texture, so the tote keeps its body and stands up when it's full.
Roomy & Light — 15 × 14 in (38.1 × 35.6 cm) Market haul or day-bag, deep enough for plenty and still easy on the shoulder all day.
Double-Stitched Handles Stitched down twice to take a real load, room to room, without the seam giving way.
About 600 Totes — Final Collection, No Reorders Lorraine's last run is strictly limited. When they're gone, the studio comes down — and there's no restock, ever.
❧ ❦ ❧

30-Day Money-Back Guarantee

If the tote isn't right when it arrives — the colours, the size, the feel, anything — send it back within 30 days for a full refund. No forms, no fuss. Just an email to the team at Marlow Market Co.

◆ A Note From Marlow Market Co.

Every design is Lorraine's own drawing, printed onto quilted cotton and made up into a tote. Because the totes are printed in batches, colours can vary a little from screen to cloth — that's a normal part of printed fabric, not a fault. This is the final collection; once it sells through, there is no restock.

The Final Sale

Message from the Artist:

After years of making things by hand, our workshop is closing. These are the last pieces we'll ever ship. Every item on this page was made slowly, carefully, and with more love than any factory could replicate. Nothing rushed. Nothing outsourced. Just real craft from real hands.

We're proud of every single one. We hope they find good homes.

When they're gone, they're gone — and so are we.

What Lorraine's customers are saying

I honestly did not expect to use this as much as I do, but it has basically become my everyday bag. I did a full grocery run the first day it arrived and it swallowed everything, bread and all, without looking stuffed. The fabric is thicker and softer than I thought from the photos and it stands up on its own on the counter. The little hedgehogs get a comment almost every time I take it out. So glad I grabbed one before they were gone!

I bought this after my daughter kept telling me to treat myself and I am so happy I did. It sits perfectly on my shoulder and does not slip off, even when it is full, which is a problem I have with most bags. The pumpkin design is even prettier in person and the colors are warm without being loud. I have had three neighbors ask me where I got it. It just makes me smile every time I head out the door.

Verified

Caron W., Millersburg, Ohio

Not gonna lie I almost didn't order because I have been burned by cute bags that fall apart. This one is the real deal though, the stitching is solid and the handles have not stretched out at all after weeks of daily use. I throw my laptop, a water bottle and way too much other stuff in it and it holds up fine. It goes with everything I own and it is way bigger than it looks. Wish I had ordered a second one honestly.

Verified

Ashley D., Lexington, Kentucky

This is such a well made bag and the size is exactly what I was hoping for, roomy but not bulky. I use it for work and for hauling books to the library and it never feels like it is going to give out. The quilting feels really nice and it has kept its shape completely. What sold me was knowing it was actually designed by hand and not just some mass produced print. It feels special and I get compliments on it constantly.
