Purses, Handbags, Shoulder Bags, Pouches

Purses, handbags, Pouches...I never know what to call them. I can accurately describe them as arty, whimsical and bohemian.
An upcycled (recycled to some of us) wool tweed jacket was reinvented into this purse/pouch. The wool was washed so the edges have frayed beautifully. Just the look I wanted. Yes, you may click on each photo to get a better look at the look I wanted.

The leather elbow patch was still attached!
Still in my I-don't-know-where-this-is-going-but-I'm-loving-it mood, I continued the raw edge, frayed look. Then tore strips and plaited them for the handles.



Hey...uncut, unlined and commercial free. If you're not sure, don't ask!

    Looks like it's going pretty well. I loved seeing the elbow patch on the other side of the pouch.

    Quality over speed is always the right call, and you explained why perfectly.
