Here’s a bit more about boxy pouches in general:
Boxy pouches are rectangular zippered bags with structured sides, often made from fabric, vinyl, or leather. Their box-like shape gives boxy pouches more storage capacity than flat pouches, making them ideal for storing and organizing a variety of items.
Common uses include holding toiletries, cosmetics, sewing tools, school supplies, tech gear (like chargers or earbuds), or travel essentials. Crafters often use them as smaller project bags, while parents may keep them in diaper bags for wipes and small toys. They are great for keeping school supplies. Some makers scale them up for lunch bags or down for coin purses.
Boxy pouches are popular among sewists because they're beginner-friendly but offer endless customization—fabric choice, zipper color, handles, inner pockets, and size adjustments all personalize the design. Their squared corners and wide openings make them both attractive and functional.
Perfect as gifts or for selling at markets, these pouches are practical, portable, and stylish catch-alls that anyone can use.
