Fall sounded fun in theory.

This funny capybara tote bag features Gene buried neck-deep in a pile of colorful autumn leaves, looking like the day has taken an unexpected turn. Paired with “I was promised cider.”, it’s made for anyone who showed up for the cozy fall vibes and somehow ended up doing actual work.

The natural canvas look pairs perfectly with the warm reds, oranges, and golds of the hand-drawn fall artwork, making this an easy seasonal bag for apple picking, farmers markets, errands, school, or carrying all the things you definitely did not volunteer to carry.

Design Notes

Gene peeks out from a colorful pile of hand-drawn autumn leaves beneath the phrase “I was promised cider.” Warm reds, oranges, yellows, and browns give the illustration a cozy fall feel, while Gene's expression keeps the whole thing understated and funny.

The natural tote background works especially well with this artwork because it keeps the design feeling warm, rustic, and orchard-ready without overpowering the colorful leaves.
