Description

A little make up bag or zipped purse upcycled from a vintage embroidered traycloth. This vintage tray cloth had seen better days, but had the sweetest floral embroidery on each end. One end in an orange way, and this purple and lilac one on the other end! These little bags are always useful for make up, as a hand bag organiser or for storing headphones or buds. Perfect as a gift for a gardener, or as a present for a Spring Birthday. The bag measures 21 cm by 14 cm and has a 21 cm maroon zip opening. There are a little cluster of vintage buttons on the front, and the back is made from recycled denim. The lining is a vintage floral cotton and there is a useful finger hook for hanging up and admiring the sweet hand embroidery. The bag is finished off with my own embroidered name tag. Please wash on a short cool setting, and leave to dry naturally. Your bag will be posted out in clean, recycled wrapping and sent as RM 2nd class.
