This is my newest design of bag, well I say new it’s a design I have been playing with for a few years now, and was never quite sure what to do with it (yes, one of those blonde moment things), but it’s classical style lends itself brilliantly to contemporary fabrics and I am really pleased the way these bags have turned out. So much so I have 3 more on the go!
Fabrics are faux suede and cotton, and the pretty floral pattern is Designer’s Guild fabric. They are supported internally with both facings and interlinings for stability and have been lined in cotton calico which is far more robust and stronger than other fabrics. I also only use pale colours for linings as there is nothing worse trying to peer into a dark lined handbag and unable to find anything. At the top there are snap fasteners, one of my small security clips for your keys, purse or anything else you need to grab hold of quickly, and the base of each bag has solid feet to protect the fabric from being damaged if placed on the floor.
These bags are really cute and I am so pleased to have found some fabulous contrasting fabrics.
I am adding these to my folksy account. So please check back for more details.

This is another one of my creations that I nearly didn’t add to Folksy and I am still in two minds if I should keep it for myself. The fabric is amazing and created using Designer’s Guild fabric in a floral lattice design. The fabric is also vintage having been produced over 20 years ago and part of my “stash” from when I first started out.
The colours are very subtle tones of brown, black, beige and green. The weight is exceptional and although it has been stiffened it was only as support. In fact it almost feels like canvas it’s such a wonderful quality.
It has been lined in beige polyester cotton and it has one internal pocket and I have attached two lobster clips, one on each side so that it can be pulled into the centre and clipped together for security purposes, but also to make the bag smaller if required. Also it is easy to attach one of my eco-friendly shopping bag to these clips. One of my signature flowers is attached at the front centre.
This fabric is absolutely beautiful which is reflected in the price which you can find on Folksy.
Dimensions are:
Height = 38cm / 15″
Width = 51cm / 20″
Depth = 13cm /5″
Strap Height = 34cm / 13″
These are approximate (nothing like artistic licence is there!!)
Thanks for looking, and don’t forget to join me here and visit me regularly on Folksy.
