A Sherlock Holmes tote for bookshop days: This blue recycled-cotton shopper carries Sidney Paget’s Baker Street illustration and a line spoken by Holmes to Watson. With wide shoulder handles, it is ready for library visits, second-hand bookshops and everyday errands.
An original Baker Street scene and quotation: The illustration comes from A Scandal in Bohemia, where Watson visits Holmes at his rooms. The words are from A Case of Identity, after Holmes notices details of Mary Sutherland’s clothing that Watson missed. The Baker Street scene and Holmes’s dry observation recall two of the cases Watson recorded.
Recycled cotton with wide shoulder handles: This recycled-cotton shopper has room for library loans, second-hand bookshop finds or a few things picked up on the high street. Its wide handles let you carry those books and everyday purchases over your shoulder on the way home.
A quieter Sherlock Holmes detail on the reverse: Turn the shopper over to find a small detective silhouette above the title The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. It is a subtle nod to the original collection, and another detail for the reader who knows the stories beyond the familiar image of the detective.

Product Description

Watson rarely knew where his next visit to Baker Street would lead. This blue recycled-cotton Sherlock Holmes tote is ready for more ordinary outings: a browse through the bookshop, a trip to the library or the daily errands that require an extra bag. The front brings together Sidney Paget’s artwork and words from one of Conan Doyle’s early mysteries.

A visit to the Baker Street rooms

The illustration comes from Sidney Paget’s drawing for A Scandal in Bohemia. Watson has called to see Holmes, and the two companions are back in the familiar rooms where so many extraordinary investigations begin. The scene is an early image from The Strand Magazine that helped establish the detective and his friend in readers’ imaginations.

A remark from A Case of Identity

The words printed above the illustration belong to a different story. In A Case of Identity, Holmes has just shown Watson how much he can learn from apparently trivial details in the appearance of Mary Sutherland. His slightly impatient reply brings out the dry humour of their friendship: Watson follows the clues, and Holmes is already thinking about the next question.

Useful beyond the bookshop

Made from blue recycled cotton, the rectangular tote has wide shoulder handles. Carry library books, something for lunch or a few purchases from the high street. Turn it round and a small detective silhouette appears on the otherwise plain reverse. It is the sort of bag to leave by the door for the next trip to the bookshop.
