Personalisation – Make It Yours
Your Capricorn is made especially for you, with a choice of materials and finishes to create a combination that’s uniquely yours.
Main Outer Fabric
Used for the front and back panels of your tote. Choose a material and colour that sets the tone for your Capricorn.
Accent Fabric
Used for the base, handles and handle connectors. Choose a coordinating material for a classic look or a contrasting colour or pattern to make your tote stand out. Leather can also be selected for suitable accent pieces.
Lining Fabric
Used for the main lining inside your bag, bringing your chosen materials together for a coordinated finish.
Pocket Theme Fabric
A little splash of personality! This fabric adds a pop of colour or pattern to the internal zipped pocket and slip pocket.
Hardware
Choose your preferred hardware finish for the zipper pulls, bag feet, rectangular rings and rivets. These finishing details help complete your chosen design.
Browse the Materials Available collection to explore the fabrics currently in stock and find your favourites. Each material has a reference code to help you identify your choices.
Some materials may incur an additional charge, which will be displayed when you make your selections. All combinations are subject to stock availability and suitability for the Capricorn design. If you’re unsure which materials will work together, I’m happy to help.
Made to Order, Not Completely Bespoke
Made to Order allows you to personalise the look of your Capricorn by choosing your materials, colours and finishes while keeping the original design and construction.
If you’d like to make substantial changes to the design, incorporate your own clothing or treasured textiles, or bring a different idea to life, my Bespoke Commission service offers the opportunity to discuss something more individual.
Made to Order
Your Capricorn will be made especially for you once your order has been placed and your choices have been confirmed.
My usual turnaround is around three weeks, although this can vary depending on current orders, material availability and the time of year.
I’ll always aim to have your Capricorn on its way to you as soon as possible.
The Story Behind the Name
The Capricorn Tote Bag takes its name from the zodiac sign Capricorn — and, as it happens, Capricorn is my own star sign.
Capricorns are often associated with practicality, reliability and determination, qualities that inspired both the name and the spirit of this design.
Spacious, dependable and beautifully handcrafted, Capricorn is designed to carry everything you need while remaining stylish enough for everyday use.
It’s one of my personal favourites, reflecting my appreciation for timeless design, practicality and quality craftsmanship.
Pattern Credit
The Capricorn Tote Bag is based on The Lola Pattern by Swoon.
Handmade Disclaimer
Every Made by Nette bag is lovingly handmade, so no two will ever be exactly alike.
Pattern placement, fabric details and finishing touches may vary slightly from photographs, giving each Capricorn its own individual character.
Specific fabrics and finishes are subject to availability, but I’ll always aim to create a combination that reflects your choices and the Made by Nette style.
