Webshop opening sale! Cottagebag is now 20% OFF!

It's been already 1 month since Aika Felt Works Webshop was published. Everything seems ok, and now I would like to offer the first sale!

This bag is designed for traveling to a cottage by a car. The idea is based on cottage culture in Finland.

The size is decided to fit in a trunk of a car.
The holes of handles are big enough to be held by your hands with gloves on for the winter time.
Newspaper and magazines can be just in the bag, so you can also use it as a magazine rack.

Normal price is 87,00 € (without VAT 71,31 €), and now it's 69,60 € (without VAT 57,05 €)!!
The sale ends when the bags are sold out. Please have a look!
