Description

One of a kind, limited edition. This lovely pale-pink polka-dot, top handled upcycled record handbag is the perfect accessory to accentuate your vintage style! This unique bag is perfect for everyday use when you want to add something extra to your outfit, go dancing at the club, parties, weddings, or take to themed days and stand out from the crowd. It's the perfect size to carry all your important bits and pieces (spare seamed-stockings, lipstick, powder, phone etc...) and the zip top enables you to open the bag wide for easy access with ingenious side flaps inside to ensure small items won't fall out! A distinctive retro feel has been created with the use of the polka dot fabrics: matt-black oilcloth for the base and pale pink for the body. White fabric edging, soft white handles and a flower and bead trim on the record creates a unique look. Approx; 4" wide, 5" deep at deepest point, with 14" total length handles, this is a great length to carry over your arm or by hand without being too long. A wonderful, 50's, Singer sewing machine was used to stitch this bag. Non toxic, crafter's pick glues were used for the sticking parts and it was finished with some hand stitching. The base has been made firm with the use of plastic mesh and card. Inside your new bag is a scroll with the care information on it for you to keep. WARNING: This is not a toy, keep out of reach of young children, beads and accessories can be a choking hazard. Although the flowers and beads have been glued on carefully, if they are picked at, they are liable to come off. Keep out of reach of children and check periodically to ensure the flowers and beads are all still accounted for.

A note from the seller

Drawing inspiration from vintage sewing patterns, mid-century design, Regency novels and nostalgic yearnings, I create things that remind us we can live an analogue life: one with a favourite book, a cup of tea and a cosy corner. An analogue life in which getting dressed up to go out dancing without filming it for social media is more fun. An analogue life in which it is an acceptable use of time to sit and watch that old black and white film whilst creating something by hand. I love creating items that will hopefully become a beloved piece and be passed down as a family heirloom. I do hope you find something to love in my shop, thank you for visiting and if you have any questions about my makes, please message me! I am selling my acrylic yarn stash, and some of my polyester fabrics as although I personally don't want to use these fibres anymore, I know that many people do, to create beautiful, useful items that will have a long and happy life.

Read the Folksy Returns Policy.

I once saw a picture of a handbag made with records, and so, I tried various ways to create my own as I wanted to make one for my mums birthday. I succeeded, but thought there might be a better way to combine all the elements together, which didn't involve melting the LP at a precise angle! I found a way and loved it so much I made my mum another one and made some to sell too! The records used for my bags are unloved or unplayable for one reason or another so may show marks or warping. L.P's need protecting, don't leave next to a hot radiator for prolonged periods of time, or near a frosty window as vinyl can warp or become brittle in these conditions. Wipe clean with a soft dry or damp cloth or a wet wipe, dry carefully afterwards. Try not to get it too wet as water could soak into the cards and glues used and make the things in your bag soggy, or compromise the structure of the bag. If you get caught in a rain storm, pop it under your arm or shelter it with an umbrella.

What buyers say about Vintage Revival

  • 2 lovely little bags, well made using beautiful retro designs. It's great too that both bags feature a design on each side. Many makers seem to only put a design on one side on a bag, cushion etc. and leave the other side plain, which I think is a shame. I would happily pay more for 2-sided design, always! Thank you JinkiesVintageRevival
