This chic upcycled leather evening purse is all glitz and glamour!
I've had this antique style kisslock frame forever, but couldn't decide what type of bag to attach it to - until I cleaned out my closet and re-discovered the long, black 30s style gown that had been hanging there for ages and that I have only worn once. Inspiration struck!
I drew a couple of sketches, settled on an old-fashioned round shape and drafted the pattern. The purse is made from genuine leather cut from a skirt sample. It's small, but the rounded shape helps to 'expand' the interior - enough to fit lipstick, powder, mobile phone and some cash easily. The front is adorned with a glittery butterfly and it has a short detachable chain.
Hmm...with a formal dinner coming up in two months I think I just might slip on that black dress and accessorize it with this purse...

ReplyDeleteLooks great. I had a bag similar to this for years. It had belonged to my mom and I liked to play with it. I wonder what happened to it....

ReplyDeleteDuni, this is so pretty and elegant. I had one similar, years ago but without the butterfly. The butterfly gives it that extra charm and softness.
ReplyDeleteThe little butterfly added the beauty of the purse.
ReplyDeleteI am a butterfly gal. I love that purse. Since I don't go out much, I would use it daily!
