Item details

This unique handbag is one of my early experimental makes and hasn't the finish of the later improved models - hence the price difference.
This record has been decorated with skull and cross bones fabric and ribbon. The fabric on the record and some of the polka dots of the oilcloth base have been coloured in with red Sharpie fine-point permanent marker. Although supposed to be permanent, be cautious against lighter fabrics. The handle is a skull and letter print ribbon, and plain red ribbon has been used for the side trim. The pocket inside features a pin-up girl and is un-usable as I stitched it on too tight! The main body of the bag is black fabric.
The bottom inserts of the bag were glued in rather than stitched like the later models, and when tipped up, it is possible to see where the glue concentrated.
Despite it's faults, this is a cool looking bag! It has a wide opening zip top with side flap inserts so your little bits and bobs stay secure and is big enough for all your important night-out accessories! 12" x 4" x 5"(at deepest point.)
If you have any questions please ask.
Not a toy. Stitched on a 1950s Singer sewing machine, glues used - Crafter's Pick non-toxic glues.

I once saw a picture of a handbag made with records, and so, I tried various ways to create one as I wanted to surprise my mum for her 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. It took a lot of experimentation before I was happy that I'd perfected it!
The records used for my bags are unloved/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. Don't let it get too wet as water can soak into the cards and glues used making 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.
