This bag was made using yarns in various heathery shades of brown - gingery and chocolatey browns and pale coffee - greens and teal, purple and wine. The colours are mixed by combining different yarns, a bit like mixing paints really.
The bag was knitted by hand and then felted in the washing machine - theres a post on how to do this here, which also has a link to the website where I got the pattern which I adapted for this bag.
There are 2 little pockets on the outside, one on each end - knitted and felted as part of the bag
and suitable for a mobile phone, or tickets or... other little things...
The bag is finished by hand and lined with vintage fabric - a lovely tie-dyed piece of cotton which shades from pale to darker purple - and there is are 2 internal pockets in the lining.
The bag fastens closed with a vintage button:
The measurements are: about 13.5inches/34cm across, measured flat, and 11.5 inches/29cm from the top edge to the base. The base is 4 inches/10.5cm by11.5 inches/29cm.
The handles are 32.5inches / 82.5 cm long.

ReplyDeletewell, oh all right then.
ReplyDeletei'm trying to nudge our prices a bit closer to what people pay for similar items on Etsy.
But I have up to now been starting these bags at $35, so would accept bids from that price.
I have the blue version of this bag and I absolutely love it. A great buy for anyone. Dizzy
ReplyDeleteThanks! $35. [US dollars]

If you would accept a U.S. postal money order sent to your U.S. contact, I could still try to bid on this bag. I do not have a paypal account, that is why I am wavering. After your payment is received then the bag could be mailed to me, if I was ever so fortunate as to succeed at this. A little longer to complete the transaction, but wonderful for each of us!!!
ReplyDeleteHopefully Alice :0)
P.S. If the above terms are acceptable I would like to proceed with a bid of $35. USD. If not thank for your patience.
ReplyDeleteAlice
