A cross the body hand bag made from fabric offcuts. A great handbag that provides for hands free carrying of all your essentials! Featuring a front zip pocket that fits a mobile phone and the main zip compartment is big enough to fit an ipad. This handbag is made using orange upholstery fabric offcuts with matching zips. I’ve lined the bag with vintage orange floral patterned cotton fabric. The Measurements The bag itself measures approximately 23cm wide and 28cm tall. You can adjust the patterned strap and it can be extended to 140cm long and shortened to 80cm. How To Care For Your Bag As this bag is made from a mix of fabrics, I would hand wash. If you want to put it in the washing machine, I would recommend putting the bag in a pillowcase and putting it on a delicates or the coolest wash that you have. A Word On Eco Credentials All my creations are made using fabric that I’ve gathered from sofa companies local to me. Fabric offcuts that would otherwise be incinerated or perhaps go to landfill. Each year, we estimate that we save about half to a tonne of fabric from landfill. A combination of sample books, offcut pieces to end of rolls of fabric, I always keep everything I collect. When people hear about what I do, I very often get given vintage fabric particularly bedding, tablecloths and even old button boxes. By buying from me, we are doing our little bit to divert fabric from landfill and salvage and upcycle the fabric and make them into the items you see on my shop online. Thank you for buying from me and helping to do our bit.
