The latest addition

This is the latest addition to my store. It's a clutch bag with a detachable chain handle and is quite different to many of the other items in my shop, which tend to be brighter and more vibrant. 

This one is made from a pretty soft pink vintage Japanese obi fabric (the 'belt' that goes around the kimono), pieced together with a pretty modern silk fabric, which has a sketchy black and white swirl design on it. 

The black and white silk fabric was given to me by couturier Jacqueline Kilpatrick who I wrote about a while ago. You can read about my visit to her studio here. It has taken me a while to go through the amazing selection of fabrics she gave me, but this is the first finished product and I love it!

That's a bit rich!

I recently added this little beauty to my Etsy store. Yes, it's very rich! It's made from a vintage Japanese obi fabric and is another handbag to add to the growing collection. The chain is detachable, but you don't even have to detach the chain if you don't want to. The loops that hold the chain flip easily inside the bag, thus instantly creating a clutch!
