"Striped Apple Shoulder Bag" Heavyweight Unisex Crewneck T-shirt

The strap rises in a tall loop and holds nothing inside it, and that open space is where the drawing gets its air. Everything busy happens below. A cloth shoulder bag slumps under its own weight, drawn in the manner of an old engraving, with fine hatched lines doing the work of shadow. Its fabric runs in vertical stripes of dark forest green and cream, and each cream stripe carries a climbing vine of small paired leaves. The stripes do not stay straight. They bend where the cloth folds and crowd together at the lower right, where the fabric gathers into a knot-like bulge. Three red apples rest in the opening, the middle one the largest, with pale streaked highlights and short brown stems; the third is half hidden behind the strap.

On the right the strap fastens with a tab and a cream four-hole button, and a thin twig slips behind that tab, carrying serrated leaves with lighter veins out to the side. Two more leaves poke up at the left. The tab has one tiny leaf of its own under the button, a quiet echo of the vines on the bag. On the Heavyweight Unisex Crewneck T-shirt the bag hangs as if from a peg, strap up and weight low. It suits anyone who shops the autumn market, or a friend who bakes.
