All reviews
At Dims Studio you'll find bags that turn everyday errands into a little burst of colour. The range spans from quilted bags with animal motifs and embroidered cosmetic bags by EJA to tote bags and a raffia bag from Rice and AU Maison. This guide gives you an overview of the types, materials, care and brands behind the range, so you can find the bag that suits your errand, whether it's the beach, the market, or the bathroom shelf at home.
Types of bags: tote bag, net bag, cosmetic bag and quilted bag
A bag at Dims Studio is chosen for a specific purpose. Here are the types currently in the range.
Tote bag
A tote bag is a light, flat bag that can be folded up and brought along whenever needed. In the range you'll find a sand-coloured leopard tote bag with handles from AU Maison and a flat pink Artisan tote bag with a tiger pattern in orange and gold, also from AU Maison. Both are handy as an extra shopping bag or a beach bag.
Net bag
A net bag has an open, woven pattern that makes it easy to see through and easy to fold up. Rice is behind the striped net bag in 100 percent recycled plastic with woven blue-and-white stripes that don't fade. It's ideal for market trips, where you'll quickly want to see what's in the bags.
Cosmetic bag
Cosmetic bags are the smaller bags in the range, sewn to keep makeup, toiletries and small items organised. Dims Studio's cosmetic bags come from EJA and are quilted in cotton with a zip running all the way round, so the contents don't fall out even when the bag sits loose in a larger bag or suitcase. See the full sub-range under cosmetics and toiletry bags.
Quilted bag
A quilted bag is sewn from several layers of fabric, giving it a lightly padded structure and a soft drape. AU Maison's Artisan series includes several quilted bags with tigers and cranes in bold patterns, while EJA's cosmetic bags are also quilted in a smaller format. If this construction reminds you of another favourite at home, you can see throws in the same quilted style.
Patterns and motifs
Animal motifs recur across the range. The leopard appears both as a tote bag and on several cosmetic bags from EJA, while the tiger motif shows up at AU Maison, both as a tote bag and as an embroidered motif on one of EJA's fringed cosmetic bags. AU Maison's Artisan series also features golden tigers on blue and green stripes, plus a motif with cranes and flowers in pink, yellow and cream. EJA's cosmetic bags also offer a floral print in yellow and green tones and a jungle print combining leopard spots with green or pink colours. What the motifs have in common is that they're dense and graphic, so the bags stand out whether worn every day or packed for a trip.
| Type | Characteristics | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Tote bag | Light, flat and easy to fold up | Extra shopping bag, beach |
| Net bag | Open, woven pattern in recycled plastic | Market trips and shopping |
| Cosmetic bag | Small, quilted, with a zip | Makeup, toiletries, the weekend bag |
| Quilted bag | Several layers of fabric with light padding | Everyday handbag and city trips |
Materials: cotton, raffia and recycled plastic
The material determines how the bags should be used and cared for.
Cotton
Cotton is the most widely used material in the range. EJA's cosmetic bags and AU Maison's quilted bags are sewn in cotton, which is soft to the touch and well suited to the dense, bold prints the bags are known for.
Raffia
Raffia is a natural material used for Rice's roomy tote bag in green and pink with handmade details. Raffia gives the bags a light, natural look well suited to summer and beach trips.
Recycled plastic
Rice's striped net bag is made from 100 percent recycled plastic. The material is hard-wearing and well suited to being filled with both groceries and swimwear, without the colours suffering, even after repeated use and washing.
| Material | Look | Used in |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Soft and quilted | EJA cosmetic bags, AU Maison Artisan bags |
| Raffia | Natural and light | Rice tote bag |
| Recycled plastic | Hard-wearing and woven | Rice net bag |
Bags for everyday, the beach and gifting
Most of the bags from Dims Studio can be used for more than one purpose. A tote bag or net bag is ideal to bring to the beach or the market, while the quilted bags from AU Maison work as a handbag for everyday errands or to gather knitting and magazines. EJA's cosmetic bags belong on the bathroom shelf or in the weekend bag, where they keep makeup and toiletries organised. If you want to combine a bag with other accessories, find inspiration under jewellery, and if the bags are meant as a gift, see more ideas under gifts for her.
For the beach and the market
Rice's raffia tote bag and striped net bag in recycled plastic are both great picks when you're headed to the beach or the market. The net bag lets you see what's in your bags, while the tote bag has room for swimwear, towels and shopping. AU Maison's tote bags can be folded up and brought along as an extra bag if more space is needed along the way.
For everyday errands
The quilted Artisan bags from AU Maison are designed as an everyday handbag, carrying lunch, knitting or papers from place to place. With a bold motif in stripes or cranes, they also add a personal touch to an otherwise neutral outfit.
For the bathroom and the weekend bag
EJA's cosmetic bags are sewn to keep makeup, skincare and toiletries organised, both in the daily bathroom routine and as a packed set in the weekend bag when heading out of town.
How to care for your bag
The three materials in the range, cotton, raffia and recycled plastic, each require their own kind of care so patterns and colours stay looking their best for as long as possible.
Caring for cotton bags
EJA's cosmetic bags and AU Maison's quilted cotton bags respond best to being wiped with a slightly damp cloth for everyday use. If the bag is heavily soiled, check whether the product is labelled machine-washable before washing it, since prints and embroidery can be damaged by high heat or spinning.
Caring for raffia
Raffia is a natural material and should be kept dry. Avoid leaving Rice's raffia tote bag in direct sunlight for long periods, as the natural fibres can become brittle, and blot away any water splashes right away so the material doesn't change shape.
Caring for recycled plastic
Rice's net bag in recycled plastic is the most robust material in the range and can easily be wiped with a damp cloth or rinsed under the tap if it's been used for, say, swimwear or fresh produce. Let it air-dry completely before folding it up again.
| Material | Cleaning | Good to know |
|---|---|---|
| Cotton | Wipe with a damp cloth, check the label before machine washing | Prints and embroidery can be damaged by high heat |
| Raffia | Wipe clean, must be kept dry | Can become brittle with a lot of sun or moisture |
| Recycled plastic | Can be wiped or rinsed | Must air-dry completely before folding |
How to store and pack your bags
Because many of the bags from Dims Studio are lightweight and can be folded up, they take up little space day to day.
Storage at home
AU Maison's tote bags and Rice's net bag can be folded flat and placed in a drawer or hung on a hook by the front door, so they're easy to grab on your way out. The quilted Artisan bags hold their shape best when stacked or stood up, rather than pressed under heavy items.
On the go
EJA's cosmetic bags are designed to travel along in your handbag or suitcase, keeping makeup and toiletries together in one place. An AU Maison tote bag can conveniently sit folded up in your bag as an extra pouch you always have on hand, should more space suddenly be needed.
The brands behind our bags
The range brings together three brands, each with its own expression.
EJA
EJA is behind the cosmetic bags in the range. They're quilted in cotton with a zip and come in several prints, including floral, jungle and leopard motifs, as well as an embroidered tiger version with a fringed edge.
AU Maison
AU Maison supplies both tote bags and quilted bags. The Artisan series features golden tigers and cranes in colourful stripes, while the tote bags have leopard spots and a more understated tiger pattern.
Rice
Rice is behind the two net bags in the range: a striped net bag in recycled plastic and a roomy raffia tote bag with handmade details in green and pink.
| Brand | Characteristics | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| EJA | Quilted cotton cosmetic bags with prints | Bathroom and the weekend bag |
| AU Maison | Quilted bags and tote bags with animal motifs | Handbag and shopping |
| Rice | Net and tote bags in recycled plastic and raffia | Market, beach and shopping |
Gift ideas with bags from Dims Studio
A bag is one of those gifts that's both practical and personal, because the pattern and colour often say something about the recipient's style. At Dims Studio you can choose from several levels, depending on who the gift is for and what the occasion is.
The small gesture
A cosmetic bag from EJA is a great choice if you're looking for a smaller gift, for example as an addition to a larger parcel or as a quick birthday present. The quilted cosmetic bags come in several prints, so you can match the gift to the recipient's favourite colours or animal motif, whether leopard, tiger or a floral print.
For her, who uses the bag every day
A quilted Artisan bag from AU Maison is a gift that gets used again and again, since it works as a daily handbag. With colourful patterns like cranes or golden tigers, it stands out from an ordinary, neutral bag and becomes a personal signature for whoever carries it.
For the holiday home or the beach
If the gift is meant for use away from home, the raffia tote bag or the striped net bag from Rice are good choices. Both are easy to pack in a suitcase and work well as a summer gift for someone on holiday by the water, or as a treat for someone who's often at the market or at outdoor events.

|---|---|
| Small gesture or addition to a parcel | Cosmetic bag from EJA |
