lydia bustle bag

Description

INSPIRATION

Lydia K is a Toronto designer that I admire, she is extremely talented and truly individual. She designed a bustle a couple of years ago to go under her jackets in her collection. I am totally mad for bustles and wanted to design one that would be more modern and functional. So I decided to marry my two loves...fanny packs and bustles and voila, my new favourite bag.

DETAILS

The main fabric of the bag is a heavy dark navy denim. The ruffles of the bustle are made from bias cut yellow and white striped shirting(65%polyester & 35%cotton) and very stiff white nylon tulle. The strap is adjustable and detachable and fits from 33"-42" for all you renegade ladies that will wear it on your waist or if you would like to wear it across your chest. The metal zip closure measures 14" and I attached my own pull for the zipper...a mini handcuff that opens. The lining is made of yellow and white striped shirting fabric and is hand sewn in. Inside there is a 5" zippered pocket for your wallet, compact, etc. Last but not least the back of the bag is finished with white cotton piping.

MEASUREMENTS

13"long and 10.5" tall.

CARE

Fabric are not pre-washed. I am clumsy and well stains and spots do happen from time to time. My bustle bags always has a Tide stick inside just for those moments.
