Upcycled Handbags – Mint Camelias/Monkey

This pretty handbag was made from quality vinyl and upholstery fabric sample swatches that were headed to landfill. All fabric used in my products are new, and most often they are samples or offcuts that companies have discarded.

The bag is fully lined with a pretty cotton print, and has a pocket on the inside.  The base of the bag is made with vinyl fabric, whilst the main body is made of furnishing fabric.  Handles are secured in place with a decorative vinyl patch over each strap.  There’s also a vinyl flap that folds over the bag with a magnetic closure to hold it in place.

Measuring approx. 32cm W x 31cm H x 7cm B (12 1/2″ W x 12 1/4″ H x 2 3/4″ B), this is a lovely handbag that that can be proudly shown off knowing you’ve saved this from ending up in the waste stream.

My primary focus is on providing a perfectly useable product from unwanted fabric samples, and saving them grom going to landfill.

To save on your postage costs, these bags will be sent rolled up.
