Patchwork kimono purse

I recently added this cute little purse to my Etsy shop. It's made from vintage Japanese kimono pieces that I've sewn together to make a patchwork.

The main print is a beautiful blossom print on a pale pink ground. It has touches of red in the print and I've added other fabrics in a similar red colour to complement it.

The purse is lightly padded and has a red cotton lining with a matching red zipper closure. There is also a red tassel on the zipper pull.

This purse is big enough to use as a travel bag or as a small makeup bag. It's a great place to store smaller items in your bag and keep them all in a safe place.

This pretty kimono purse makes a great gift for a Japan lover and is totally unique. Items are wrapped in pink tissue paper and can be sent straight to their recipient with an optional gift message included.

Spring has sprung!

Today is officially the first day of spring, and I thought I'd celebrate with some sufficiently spring-like purses! One is a cute cosmetic bag made from a pink and white rabbit fabric. It has a pretty pink floral lining and would make a perfect Easter gift! The other is a large coin purse made with a pink cherry blossom print and it has a fab multi colour spotty lining.

You can find them both in my store here.

The cosmetic bag could also be used as a handbag organiser to store small items in your bag, or as a gadget pouch, to store chargers and phone etc.

The coin purse is large enough to store credit cards as well as small change.

I love the bright spotty lining.
