City Bag Downtown Pattern by Aunties Two

The 9x9x6 size is just right for my daily necessities, and the channel stitching keeps everything sturdy. I'm impressed with how well the zipper top closes securely, making it perfect for a quick lunch or small bag.

The pre-bent stays really hold the shape perfectly, making it easy to pack without everything collapsing. I use mine for carrying snacks to work and the channel stitching gives it a nice handmade feel that stands out.

The pre-bent stays actually work—the bag keeps its boxy shape even when it’s half-empty, which I didn’t expect from something this small. It fits my daily lunch plus a water bottle, and the channel stitching gives it a sturdy, handmade feel that’s held up through two weeks of commutes.
