A handmade bag hangs from a wood and metal hook in front of a light grey wall. The bag is made using an impressionistic canvas painting of a Chinese street scene that has been combined with patches of salvaged leather. The handles are a dark green/Grey canvas belt.
A handmade bag hangs in front of a light grey wall. The side showing is part of a vintage, impressionistic painted canvas of a Chinese street scene.
Pieces of a handmade bag are laid out on a table, ready to be sewn. The 2 large side pieces are pieces of a vintage painted canvas while the narrow sides and bottom are leather. The narrow pieces are various different colours of leather that all tie back into the canvas colours.
I got inspired by some Anthropologie bags so I tried using a pair of vintage canvases we had, along with leather colour samples and a thrifted belt. I should get 3 bags from 2 canvases! #bags #handmade #recycling #recycled #upcycled #remade #handbag #reclaimed
