5 out of 5 starsLove these so much! Most beautiful fabrics and smell so good! My mailbox even smelled amazing! That’s how strong the smell is (in a good way). I requested that the sun motif show up on the fabric and customer service was awesome and friendly about it to make it happen. Thank you!

About minorthread
How did it start?
Minor Thread was created in 2003, in Oakland, California. Born from a desire to make something with the abundance of great vintage fabrics that were then readily available at thrift stores, Charlie started to craft cute, whimsical tote bags. The brand has grown from there.
The Minor Thread name is a registered trademark, and may not be used without permission by any entity.
