Fold‑Flat Magic

Tucks into a neat palm‑size square—no more rummaging for a tote at the checkout... or bulking out your handbag.

Scrap‑Smart & Planet‑Kind

Uses two fat quarters you already own, so you bust your stash and skip single‑use plastic in one go.

Two‑Looks‑in‑One

Flip it inside‑out for an instant style switch—because reversible means double the fun.
