Daily Denim Look, Hand knitted, crocheted and sewn handbag, with a crocheted handle strap and short flap over top, which has a stone bead detail and single lucite button closure.

This is a handmade handbag, made with two contrasting coloured yarns, both are a blend of 55% Nylon and 45% Acrylic yarn. The handbag has been both knitted and crocheted. The main body of the handbag has been knitted with a horizontal and vertical stripe pattern, created by knitting the two yarns together, giving a mottled look, then seperating the yarns and knitting them independantly in an alternating design, giving the horizontal stripes, these are seen as vertical columns. A very time consuming process!

The fold over front flap has been knitted in the plain blue yarn, then folded over to form a double layer and crocheted together to give the required thickness, the edges have then been crocheted with both yarns together to tie into the whole theme and the edged have been crocheted integrally with the handle to ensure strength and durability of the strap, giving a very textured twisted look.

The body of the handbag has been further fully lined with white 100% cotton to make this handbag more useable and durable.

This is a unique handmade item, fully hand knitted, crocheted and hand stitched by myself, to my own unique design, as mentioned above, the handle strap is integral to the bag and not stitched on afterwards.

This handbag can be hand or machine washed, but I would suggest handwashing due to the bead work, no wringing, shaping whilst damp and drying flat to retain its shape.

The handbag is roughly rectangular in shape, measuring approx 18cms in height, excluding the handle and approx 22cms in width.

I love playing with yarns, knitting and crochet, and really enjoy creating unusual items from them. This handbag puts me in mind of an every day purse which would go great with jeans.

A simple handbag to go with every daytime outfit and is just what every lady should have at her disposal. I felt this handbag would be perfect for all seasons, or just for someone with a love of anything quirky and unique.
