The Everyday Rituals Tote is a limited edition canvas tote produced in collaboration with Dutoit Studio for Melbourne Design Week — a purposeful object made to carry the biggest books and last well beyond any exhibition.
About This Book
Created for the Everyday Rituals exhibition at Bookshop by Uro, this tote belongs to a limited edition capsule collection developed with Dutoit Studio and Nattier Ceramics. The collection takes its name from a broader enquiry into how considered design transforms ordinary gestures — pouring, placing, pausing — into moments of reflection. The tote itself embodies these values without pretension: heavy-weight navy cotton canvas, a clean white graphic, an internal pocket, and generous dimensions sized for architecture monographs. Designed and made in Australia, it reflects Dutoit's commitment to material clarity, manufacturing intelligence, and purposeful outcomes.
