Keep it simple with a trendy tote

We love this gorgeous tote shared by Sinem Dagdemir on TikTok. It features neutral macrame cord and a striking central band of detail. This would elevate your outfit for the supermarket dash!

Over the shoulder chic

The space between knots is as important as the knots themselves in macrame, as demonstrated by this fun net-style bag created by Irlymade on TikTok. We think this bag is perfect to throw over your shoulder and head out for the weekend.

Fabulous flower power

If you're feeling more ambitious, why not try a chic clutch bag, like this one from macramebymi on TikTok? We love the daisy detail in the knots – it's such a clever way to introduce some colour into your macrame pattern.

Colourful and creative

Not all macrame has to be neutral, as shown by this fun yellow over-the-shoulder style by Lumiere Makrome Tasarim on TikTok. It's the perfect pop of cheerful colour for summer, and the tassel detail makes this bag really stand out.
