This fun tote bag brings together three pre-loved textiles, giving each a new purpose in a one-of-a-kind design.
Outside:
- The main body is made from upcycled denim from a skirt
- The denim is reinforced with Pellon SF101 woven fusible interfacing for added strength.
- Red gingham fabric, rescued from an apron, has been given a new life as the bag's two straps and decorative ruffles. The gingham ruffles run along each side seam.
- The bag closes securely with a golden magnetic snap.
Inside:
- The lining is made from vintage fabric sourced from a fabric de-stash. It features a beige background with a floral pattern in red, green, orange, pink and blue.
- Two internal slip pockets for smaller essentials.
- Reinforced with Pellon SF101 woven fusible interfacing for added strength.
Straps & Details:
- The bag features two wide, comfortable red gingham straps, made from the same repurposed apron fabric as the side ruffles.

Please Note Every item is individually handmade by me. While I take great care to ensure consistency, slight variations in dimensions, pattern placement and finish are a natural part of the handmade process. These individual characteristics are what make each piece unique.
Care Spot clean or gently hand wash as required. Line dry in the shade. Warm iron if required, avoiding the magnetic snap.
