Description

A drawstring bag upcycled from a vintage tea towel of Ulster linen. It shows a brightly illustrated map of The Ridings of Yorkshire on one side, and on the other is York Minster with a fabulous italic script spelling out that grand name – Yorkshire! Perfect as a suitcase organiser for sandals, as a small bag for washing, or just a place for storage. It would make a great present for those professional Yorkshire folk out there, as a gift for Dad, or perhaps as a going to Uni present. The width is 33 cm x 2 and the height is 45 cm It is lined with old skool black and white striped ticking, and finished off with my own embroidered name tag. The drawstrings are made of cotton rope, and finished off with a little floral head pull. It draws up to give a slight ruffle around the top edge. Please wash on a gentle cool wash, and dry on the line or clothes rack. Your bag will be wrapped in clean, recycled packaging from my hoard, and sent as RM 2nd class.
