Browse my collection of handmade upcycled denim handbags and accessories – each piece is designed with care, making them stylish, functional, and truly unique.

This bag started as a pair of well-worn jeans, the kind with real character already built in. I unpicked, cut, and rebuilt the denim to keep the best details, including the original pocket that makes it feel familiar and unique at the same time.

The black leather top was my finishing touch to give it that slightly darker, rock-inspired edge, while the inside stays practical and organised with pockets that keep everyday essentials in place. And then there’s the lining: an ants print that adds a hidden twist — a little reminder that a useful bag can still have personality.

Made slowly in my small workspace, with careful stitching and added structure so it keeps its shape, this is a one-off piece. Once it’s gone, it’s gone — because no two pairs of jeans ever give the same story twice.

Full description

Jeans crossbody bag for everyday wear, made for hands-free days and easy organisation.

Upcycled denim with a black leather top and a secure double zip opening.

Outside zip pocket and original jeans pocket detail.

Inside pockets with bold ants print cotton lining.

Size 33 cm by 27 cm.

A denim bag with a quiet rock edge, easy to wear, easy to love, and built for real life. I made it from rescued jeans and added a black leather top to give it a slightly elevated, street cool finish.

It’s soft but not floppy: there’s interfacing inside so it keeps a nice shape while staying comfy on the shoulder. The double zipper opens wide (no digging around), and the pockets do the job properly — outside for grab-and-go, inside for the bits you want secure. Then there’s the little surprise… that ants print lining bold, graphic, and very Gabus81.
