Another little rattan bag revamped. I’m getting quite good with a hammer and tacks! The wooden struts inside needed securing before I lined it with a mid century style cotton and coordinating gingham! It has the usual little elasticated top pocket and a small zipped pocket. It needs a zip pull, but then I’ll keep it for the vintage fair in the summer, unless you bag it first, of course. £50 + £5 p+p. Contact me to purchase here.

This year I shall be mostly turning preloved to reloved tired vintage wood, wicker, straw and rattan bags by adding new embellishments and linings. Making existing items pretty, practical, lovable and functional once more, using less of the world’s resources and creating unique one-off pieces to enjoy! Each bag will be carefully chosen, delicately cleaned, sympathetically mended and re-lined with a pretty colourful cotton fabric in keeping with its age. Each one will have: *A genuine vintage wicker, rattan or wooden outer. *A contemporary or repurposed vintage fabric lining. *A soft interior wadding to cushion your belongings. *An interior pocket or two, one zipped, one elasticated. *And of course any major flaws will be carefully described. Please remember these are vintage items, up to 75 yrs old! Use them for special occasions and treat them with love!❤️ Here's some I made earlier! And here are a couple waiting for their turn to be beautified!
