About this item
A dolly bag or drawstring bag upcycled from a pretty vintage embroidery. It features a young girl in a crinoline tending her flowers on the front, and the back is black and white striped ticking. This lovely old piece of vintage table linen was damaged in the middle, but I could just squeeze out a set if bags. This little duffle bag is the first one in my collection. It would make a nice storage bag for keeping vintage lace, hankies or haberdashery in, but it would also make a lovely vintage wedding gift, or a thank you present for a bridesmaid. The bag measures 36 cm tall, and is 68 cm around the circular base. The base has been strengthened with canvas, but it is still a soft bag It is lined with a floral vintage cotton and the back is made from black and white striped ticking. There are a few decorative buttons on the front. It closes with 2 dusty blue braid pulls, each ending in a flower head. There is an embroidered channel for the braid to pull through, and it is finished off with my own embroidered name tag. This is quite a delicate bag, so please wash on a cool short setting, and leave to dry naturally. Your bag will be wrapped in clean, recycled packaging from my hoard, and sent as RM 2nd class. Inspiration: This old embroidered table cloth was such a great summer find at the car boot. After some TLC it came alive, and there were enough good sections to make a set of bags. I love the young girl in her huge skirt, wandering in her romantic garden!

Smashing bag, I love the juxtaposition of ticking and vintage embroidery. Great for a project bag and it easily folds flat for packing when travelling. Recently used aa an unusual handbag on opera visit. Supremely well made. Highly recommended.
Delightful item, beautifully wrapped and arrived extremely quickly.
A lovely bag full of colour. It has been beautifully made and presented, and I will find many uses for the bag. Very happy with my purchase. Thank you and best wishes.
