About this item
A mini First Aid Purse to keep headache tablets and inhaler organised and easy to find in your handbag or pocket. They make genuinely useful gifts for friends, parents and the 'tricky-to-buy-for' with the added benefit of being eco-conscious as they are made from repurposed fabric remnants. As featured in COUNTRY LIVING MAGAZINE (July 2026) I originally designed the ochre canvas First Aid Purse for myself - a cute way to keep my asthma inhaler, allergy meds and headache tablets all in one place when I'm out and about. KEY FEATURES: - ZERO WASTE & SUSTAINABLE: Handmade using remnants of canvas, drill and calico leftover from making my aprons and toiles, saving textile waste from landfill - HAND-APPLIQUED DETAIL: Red cotton twill cross shape is very carefully zig-zag stitched to a calico square - PERFECTLY POCKET-SIZED: Fits headache/allergy/medicine tablets, asthma inhaler, plasters, tissues inside. Keep the purse in your handbag or pocket. - DIMENSIONS: 14cm x 10.5cm - SIZE: 14cm x 10.5cm - FABRIC/MATERIALS: 100% cotton canvas (Oeko-Tex 100 certified) or 100% cotton stripe denim, 100% cotton calico, 100% red twill, YKK zip. Machine washable 30C. - POSTAGE: UK Royal Mail Tracked 48 (free). USA/Canada/Australia/New Zealand 'Royal Mail International Tracked'.

I made the original First Aid Purse for my asthma inhaler, allergy medication and headache tablets - a smart little bag that would be easy to find in my handbag and small enough for pockets - it occured to me visitors to my shop would find them useful too! They are made from remnants of canvas, drill and calico leftover from making my aprons and toiles, the beautiful zips are custom made.

I already had a lovely bespoke apron for my silversmithing, but I've used that one a decade and it's got a bit baggy. This new one is fabulous. It's really sturdy yet soft denim and 100 denim, so it won't stretch nor be a fire risk The pocket has already rescued a gemstone for me. It arrived promptly, was beautifully packaged and I'm delighted with it. Thank you Lisa.
