FAQ's - ReDesigned

ReDesigned Project bags are premium, handcrafted leather organizers specifically designed with knitters and crocheters in mind. Unlike standard bags, they feature highly structured interiors with dedicated compartments for yarn, needles, hooks, and other crafting tools to keep your work-in-progress (WIP) neat and accessible

Yes. The functional layouts are universally helpful for yarn crafters. The elasticated loops, zip pockets, and open compartments easily accommodate both knitting needles and crochet hooks, keeping everything secure and preventing yarn tangles.

These bags are crafted from high-quality, durable leather. The leather is intentionally selected to hold its shape for organisation while softening and developing a beautiful, unique patina over time

ReDesigned offers a wide range of sizes to suit various crafting habits:

• Small Cases (e.g., Project 9): Ideal for socks, shawls, and compact accessories.
• Medium Bags: Versatile options for single, everyday knitting or crochet projects.
• Large Bags (e.g., Project 10): Spacious totes and boxes perfect for large garments like sweaters or carrying multiple projects at once.

All ReDesigned Project bags are in stock in the UK (unless they are noted as a Pre-Order) and are available for immediate shipment.

Some of the bags are used by customers for toiletries, make up and other personal items!

Redesigned provides a wide selection of bag sizes and styles, from small clutches and needle cases to spacious box-style project bags. It really depends what you intend to use the bags for.

We stock a ReDesigned approved leather care product. This is a natural product made according to old original prescriptions. It impregnates and nourishes the leather and keeps the leather soft and flexible. Especially suitable for the care of all kinds of smooth leathers. Regular conditioning helps preserve the leather’s patina and longevity.

The ReDesigned leather balm enhances the durability of bags by deeply nourishing and moisturising the leather fibres. This helps to keep the material soft, supple, and less prone to cracking or splitting over time. Additionally, leather balm creates a semi water-repellent and dirt-resistant barrier on the surface, protecting the bag from moisture, stains, and everyday wear. In our experience, regular application not only maintains the leather’s appearance and shine but also significantly extends the life and resilience of each bag.

Sustainability is at the core of Redesigned's philosophy.

• Sustainably Sourced Leather: The leather used is often a by-product of the meat industry, ensuring that more of the animal is utilised. No animals are bred solely to produce leather.
• Reduced Carbon Footprint: The brand prioritises shipping its products by sea to minimise CO2 emissions.
• Durable by Design: By creating long-lasting products, Redesigned promotes a "consume less buy better" philosophy, moving away from the culture of disposable fashion. (More…)

All designs, shapes and measurements as well as choices such as leather quality, hardware colour, embossment placement, studs, and interior compartments are completed in Denmark.

The raw leather is precisely cut into components. Each piece is meticulously hand-waxed, resulting in a soft finish. Finishing touches, including logos and edge details, are added with precision. 

Skilled artisans at family run factories in India hand-assemble all components. Stringent quality checks are conducted to uphold high standards.

Yes. Sustainability and ethics are central to the brand's philosophy:

• Materials: The leather used is a by-product of the meat industry; no animals are bred solely for their leather.
• Labour: Their production facilities are independently validated by SMETA audits to ensure safe working conditions and fair labour standards.
• Philosophy: They champion a "consume less, buy better" ethos by creating durable goods meant to last a lifetime.

Absolutely. Because of their beautiful, minimalist Danish design and highly organised compartments, many customers repurpose these bags for everyday use. They make excellent premium toiletry bags, makeup organisers, or daily crossbody purses.
