Our story
A quiet studio, a single loop, repeated with care.
Latte & Loops began with a simple refusal, that handmade should not mean amateur, and that something made slowly can still feel modern.
It began the way many crafts do, learned from a grandmother, then shaped by years of quiet practice. What started as a way to make gifts became a question: could these bags feel as considered as anything in a boutique window?
The answer was in the material. Trapillo, recycled t-shirt yarn, gave the weight and structure that thin craft yarns never could. A bag that holds its shape, softens with use, and lasts.
How a bag is made
Made by one pair of hands
Every bag is crocheted start to finish by hand, no factory line, no outsourcing. What you carry was made, not assembled.
Waste, rewoven
The yarn is trapillo: offcuts from the t-shirt industry that would otherwise be discarded, spun into a soft, durable cord.
Slow by design
We make in small batches. Fewer, better pieces you keep for years, the opposite of a season's trend.
