Reference Material Tote Bag

A black cotton tote embroidered with REFERENCE MATERIAL on one side and Saint Violet on the other, sized for the things you carry around in case they turn out to be useful: a notebook, a library book with the receipt still in it, printouts, swatches, a sketchbook, and whatever you pick up along the way.

The same words are on our 20 oz mug, for the desk the tote gets unpacked onto.
