Our story, our craft, our community

Welcome to M21-Stitches, where passion meets purpose. Discover the journey of our handmade tote bags and accessories, crafted with love and a deep connection to Manchester's heritage.

Our Manchester inspiration

M21-Stitches was born as Sasha K, in Chorlton-cum-Hardy a vibrant and charming suburb in the south of Manchester, from a profound appreciation for UK's rich fabric legacy;  we started crafting bags using UK designed fabrics. We were soon inspired by the city's vibrant history and sought to create something new that honoured the city, blending past and present in every tote bag.

Crafting with care: local and upcycled

Our unique crafting approach combines the best of local sourcing and sustainable practices. We proudly purchase our fabrics  from local business in Manchester, we also print our tote bags in Chorlton-cum- Harley, ensuring quality and supporting our community. Additionally, we breathe new life into pre-loved denim items, transforming them into stylish and eco-friendly accessories.
