Keep your must-haves nearby with The Essentials Bag.
A go-everywhere bag with a special pocket for your glasses, so you can avoid placing them on your collar or on your head. This lightweight everyday ‘it’ bag is compact, yet has a spot for everything important; glasses, phone & cards (as well as a couple of keys and lipstick). The main body is wide enough to fit a passport, allowing you to free up your hands during travel.
In true SteMargScot style, this versatile bag is a playful pop of colour to help you effortlessly move through your day. The Essentials Bag is soft and feels special to the touch. It is an elevated take on the everyday crossbody with scalloped edging and a hand-knotted strap that allows you to style and customize your strap length. Our logo is laser engraved on a wool plaquette that is framed by our signature hand stitch detail.

Care Instructions
Vacuum with an upholstery brush or hand brush with a lint removal tool/lint roller. When dusting, it is normal to have a slight shedding of fibres. These loosened fibres will decrease over time.
We love that wool can be self-cleaning by airing out. Dry dirt or dust can be removed with a vacuum.
If you encounter a stain, spot clean discrete areas with a slightly damp warm cloth and mild soap/detergent. Pat the area to remove the stain and lay the bag right side up on a towel to dry at room temperature away from direct sunlight.
Should it be necessary to clean the entire bag, eco dry cleaning is recommended.
Behind The Brand
Sasha holds several degrees (BSc, BEd, MSc), worked as a science educator for over 10 years, and performed research at Sickkids. Her work in drug discovery was awarded by Sickkids and published in the top gastroenterology journal. Sasha's background in science made her aware that most of the coats offered today are derived from non-renewable resources, i.e., synthetics and plastics from fossil fuels and metal zippers from mining.
She founded SteMargScot to challenge the complacency around synthetics in outerwear. Sasha is a member of the Canadian Wool Council's Policy Committee and advocates for the revival and revaluing of wool. SteMargScot has been spotlighted several times on national television, featured in ELLE Canada, nominated for best emerging brand by the Canadian Arts and Fashion Awards, and was the first brand to have a popup with Sporting Life.
