7 Best Handmade Crochet Bags from Small Brands [SS25]

7 Best Handmade Crochet Bags from Small Brands [SS25]

Welcome! I’m Kadi, co-founder of the handmade crochet bag brand CROHINI. I’ve made it my mission to start sharing some of the amazing small brands and designers of handmade and sustainably produced products through curated lists.

In this blog post, I’ll list the seven cutest handmade crochet bags that I've recently come across for you to choose from this season.

Why choose handmade crochet bags over mass production? 

There are so many amazing independent brands crafting the most beautiful crochet bags made with sustainable materials and practices. However, they are often pretty hard to find, especially compared to large fast fashion retail brands as naturally, marketing budgets of small brands can be tight.

Large fashion magazines often list the best crochet bags sold by only large brands like Prada or fast fashion retailers like Mango and H&M. At CROHINI, we believe there is space for everyone, advocating for consumers to choose small and sustainable brands over mass production. 

7 Best Handmade Crochet Bags

About Us

Brand Story

CROHINI was founded by Estonian twin sisters Kadi and Kadri. Their shared passion for handcrafting and sustainability is reflected in every single bag: unique designs made from recycled and up-cycled materials, inspired by traditional techniques and a modern sense of style.

Growing up in Estonia, Kadi and Kadri got inspired by their grandmother, who is highly skilled in rag rug making. A centuries-old tradition that became popular in Scandinavia in the mid-1800s, rag rugs were traditionally woven from recycled or old clothing using strips of fabric leftovers. Rag rugs were originally a symbol of status and wealth but soon became synonymous with simple, down-to-earth, country living — old cottages with wooden floors covered with long colourful woven rugs. Similarly to the art of weaving, Kadi and Kadri learned to crochet and use leftover fabrics creatively from their grandmother.

After realising crochet designs were more popular than ever, the quality and skill that went into making them were to wish for. CROHINI bags reflect the slow side of living and craft in today's oversaturated fast fashion retail market, offering high-quality, slowly and sustainably produced handmade crochet bags using only recycled materials and fabric leftovers. Over the years, CROHINI has developed a unique style, mixing traditional techniques with contemporary designs. Every bag design tells a story, focusing on creating beautiful, meaningful pieces tailored to your preferences.

All products are carefully handcrafted using sustainable practices and made from recycled materials without sacrificing quality. Thank you for choosing CROHINI over mass production and embracing more ethical fashion choices!
