I have been working on these handbags for several months now....I am quite pleased with the results! I have always had a bag fetish, collecting not only everyday handbags since I was young, but I also own several beautiful and unique vintage bags that I like to use as decor. I believe in starting the love of handbags when girls are little so I have made styles for them too!
What is interesting about my designs is that I have been inspired to create with up-cycled materials. Take a closer look....

This all leather bag has been fashioned from fine leather furnishing sample pieces, vintage leather clothing and a fabulous leather belt. |

This little beauty is made from a little denim skirt. You can't see the details here, but it has cute embroidered flower detail on both the front and back, a funky lining and an adjustable strap. |

Another great bag made from a skirt. The details of felted flowers and vintage trim make it special. It also has a long strap that would allow it to be worn across the body. |

This fun bag reminds me of a Jeannie Lottie number - she designs fabulous unique handbags that usually cost far above my budget, unless I luck out and find one at Winners. This has been created from a little dress, has a silk lining, a vintage button detail and beaded fringe. I would use this everyday, but you might enjoy this for a special occasion!
Thanks for stopping by...Shannon
