Olivina – The Crochet Bag That Speaks Natural Style
Fresh, light, and shaded in a palette that recalls the Mediterranean tones, Olivina is the new crochet bag designed for those who love to stand out with elegance. The choice of lycra as the yarn gives it both structure and lightness, while the star stitch adds depth and a three-dimensional effect, transforming a simple technique into a true couture detail.
The hard stone handle and gold closure add a sophisticated touch, perfect for both casual looks and more chic outfits. The flap, made using the same stitch, harmonizes perfectly with the design. Its compact yet roomy size makes it a striking accessory for everyday use.
Perfect to recreate in other shades — pastels, vibrant colors, or neutrals — Olivina also makes a wonderful gift idea or a fun creative challenge to put your crochet skills to the test.
Together, Brezza Marina and Olivina tell a story of sunshine, creativity, and identity. With this capsule collection, you can not only create a coordinated outfit, but also play with yarns, explore different color combinations, and build your personal style.
LET’S SEE HOW IT’S MADE
Start with the 21 cm base and work the foundation using chain stitch. Be careful to keep your tension soft and guide each stitch naturally toward the next hole to prevent warping the base.
Then, work two rounds of back loop single crochet to form the bottom edge. Add increases as shown in the tutorial.
In the first round, place increases on every chain along the short sides. In the second round, add only 3 increases per short side. At the end of the second round, you should have a total of 60 single crochets.
Now you can start working the star stitch — easy and fun, it gives the bag a sophisticated and elegant texture. Use the same stitch to create the flap.
To complete the project, you’ll need beautiful gold accessories: 2 round clasps (18 mm), one push-button closure, and a handle.
And let’s talk about that handle — it was love at first sight! Both the Olivina bag and the Brezza Marina top were born from it. I searched for yarns that would coordinate well with it, and from that handle came the Mediterranea capsule collection, which could soon include even more designs. Who knows?
In the meantime, take a look at both projects and create your perfect pairing. Choose the colors and materials that suit you best — and have fun 💖
