Upcycled Sweater Bag with Vintage Buttons

Description

A great, one-of-a-kind bag from "a little bit behind©." I use 100% wool sweaters, felt them, and then use their parts to create unique purses and bags, adding embellishments of wool & vintage trims and buttons.

You'll love this Hobo bag created from a rose-colored wool striped sweater. The stripes adorn the body of the bag and also alternate sides of the strap handles. The cut bottom corners add a little interest to the shape of the bag. Vintage buttons form the closure with pretty ombre silk ribbons.

Bag is lined with a neutral cotton print. Measures 17 wide x 10.5 deep; 21 inches from top to bottom with handles.

Wool is not just for winter anymore!

"a little bit behind©" is a business segment of Folk 'n' Fiber from Amherst Folk Art & Rug Hooking. One-of-a-kind bags are designed and created by Ohio folk artist, Sally Van Nuys.
