The beauty of the crossword extends beyond the clues themselves. For our Crossword Constructor capsule, we’ve selected some of The New York Times’s most eye-catching grid designs. Our black and white patchwork tote features an array of patterns on the front, with a classic Times logo in the top right corner. On the back, we’ve listed the puzzle constructors and publication dates.
Grid gurus will delight in our Crossword Constructor capsule — a series of products that revel in the black and white beauty of the classic crossword design. These pieces celebrate the constructors who push the boundaries of what a puzzle can be, creating pieces of art from the negative space between the clues. Available in a tote bag and long sleeve shirt, this line is for the aesthete with a solving streak.
Our 10 oz. heavyweight totes are made of durable, 100% bull denim cotton. The wide, soft straps are designed to feel comfortable on your shoulder. They’re made in the USA by Everybody.World, a sustainable fashion brand based in Los Angeles. This tote features puzzles constructed by David Levinson Wilk, Bruce Haight, Zhouqin Burnikel, Joe Krozel, Manny Nosowsky, William I. Johnston, Kameron Austin Collins, Martin Ashwood Smith, Patrick Merrell, Soleil Saint-Cyr, Paula Gamache and Sid Sivakumar.
