This fun handbag brings together three pre-loved textiles, giving each a new purpose in a one-of-a-kind design.
The main body is made from upcycled denim from a skirt, paired with red gingham straps and ruffles repurposed from an apron. Inside, a vintage floral fabric rescued from a lady's de-stash adds a colourful finishing touch.
