Back to Bags: Meet the 'Joanna' Bag
When I started this blog, my shop went on a bit of a hiatus due to time constraints, travelling, etc. Now, things are getting back on track and the bag making which I miss so much has started up again. I wanted to create a fall/winter line and sell it from my shop, but have decided to do the bags on a made-to-order basis, as all are one-of-a-kind anyway.
The bag I'm showing here, the 'Joanna' has been purchased, but it serves to show what I'm doing at the moment, so if you like what you see, you can have one, too! I created the underlying structure out of felt that I made from merino wool, then wrapped it in this scrumptious Roberto Cavalli fabric that is quite thick yet very soft. It's lined with lilac taffeta. Wrapping uses a lot more fabric than you'd think, so I'm left with not enough to make another bag this size, but could do a mini clutch if you fancy the fabric. I found it in Toronto and will be returning in December, so if you're interested in something more substantial I could see about getting more.
There's about a three week waiting list at the moment, but holiday orders could be accommodated on a first-come first-served basis in less time if you've got something in mind - feel free to contact me (see email link in the left sidebar) to discuss ideas!
