'Carolina' Handbag - Folksy

Shared by ciesse in the Fabric Crafts


Product Description:

This eye-catching tote bag is made from unused, vintage Bernard Wardle fabric. The bold abstract floral design is in shades of orange, yellow and brown on a green-blue background. The fabric probably dates from either the 50s or 60s and has a great retro look. The design has been outline-quilted to give it depth, and the padding makes the bag very soft and tactile.

The bag is interlined and interfaced to give it structure and is lined with a toning cotton fabric. There are two interior pockets, both divided into two sections, for all those important little things. The base of the bag is stiffened for support. The handles, in the same fabric as the bag, are long enough to sit comfortably on the shoulder, but not too long to carry in the hand. The bag is fastened with a secure magnetic clasp.

Perfect for everyday use, special occasions or to brighten up a plain outfit, this unique bag would also make an ideal gift.
