Full description

A tote bag or book bag upcycled from a fabulous piece of vintage French cotton. An unusual illustration of classical pillars and cherubs sets it apart, as well as a lovely muted colour palette soft green, gold and maroon.

I have used it to make a lightweight simple but sturdy unlined tote or shopping bag which could also be useful as a book bag. It has a small inside pocket for your phone and keys, and will fold up into its own little pouch, ready for all those unexpected buys when you want to avoid plastic bags. This would make a great present for a lover of classics, antiquities or cherubs!

The bag measures 32 cm across the front and is 36 cm long. It is sewn with strong French seams.

There is a pair of handles each 63 cm long, and the bottom is boxed to make it a little more roomy.

The bag folds up to fit inside its own matching pouch measuring 15 cm across and 20 cm long.

The inside pocket is 15 cm by 12 cm edged with dusty pink binding, and finished off with my own embroidered name tag

Please wash on a short, cool cycle, and hang up to dry on a line or clothes rack.

I like to recycle. Your bag will arrive wrapped in clean, reused packaging and sent as Royal Mail 2nd class.
