Giving new life to old things
Welcome to VerteStudio!
I started my shop to be able to showcase what i am passionate about - reusing old sweaters and making them into stylish and beautiful bags. The process of felting is so interesting and it feels very therapeutic to me. My bags are mostly made by washing old and torn sweaters in hot water to agitate the wool fibers and to fasten the process of felting by shrinking the garment. I then sew the bag making sure that I waste as little of the fabric as possible and decorate the bag by needle felting different wool roving or silk fibers and in some cases embroidering it or adding crochet details. The straps on all my bags are recycled leather belts. Usually I hand sew the bag and the lining and add some embroidered details on the inside of the bag (like the inside pockets). So if you have a favorite sweater and would like to turn it into a cool bag, please contact me and let's talk!
My other passion is making clutches from pop tabs by crocheting them together and adding some interesting details. My family and friends are probably sick of me asking them to save the pop tabs for me :)
Please don't hesitate to contact me, I would like to hear what you have to say about my items and how I can improve.
Happy shopping!
