Little bucket bag or handbag in a willow pattern vintage embroidery

This lovely blue and white willow pattern was once a vintage embroidered table cloth. It had had a hard life, but there was enough left in good condition to make two small Chinese style bucket bags. This one has a temple and trees on the front in true blue and white willow pattern style, with two sweeping birds in the corner. On the back is a fishing boat. Its two handles are long enough to fit snuggly around your hands, and although it is dinky, it is just large enough to hold your essentials at a wedding or garden party. These small hand bags have a decorative button and loop fastening, as well as a magnetic snap on the inside facing, and are like having an additional pocket, but with its own handles! Great little Springtime handbags, or as a treat for yourself. The linen has been stitched onto canvas to strengthen it, but it is still a soft little bag. It has a pair of handles, each 30 cm long. It measures approx 24 cm by 24 cm with boxed in ends to make it a little more roomy. It is lined with a vintage inspired gold and blue fabric, and has an inside facing for a neat finish. It fastens with a magnetic clasp, as well as with a decorative vintage pearl button and loop closure. It is finished off with my own embroidered name tag. Please hand wash or use a short delicate machine wash, and leave to dry naturally. I like to reuse. Your bag will be posted out in clean recycled packaging from my hoard.
