Upcycling bag

You can never have enough bags. Handbag, backpack, travel bag, they occupy an important place in our dressing room and are certainly the most used fashion accessory. Today, Tilli invites you to create a bespoke, eco-friendly bag thanks to the practice of upcycling.

Recycled fabric beach bags

To make this pretty beach bag, we used cuts of linen curtain fabric! Quite simply.

What gives it its cachet is undoubtedly the accessories:
the gold-tone metallic chain, extra chic, the woven strap which adds a colourful touch and the fine Tilli embroidery.

You see, sometimes it doesn't take much to create
extra trendy pieces.

Summer's on its way,
have you got your beach bag If not, get in touch!

We also have some lovely fabric scraps at our disposal and will no doubt be able to
create a bespoke bag to your image.

The extra chic handbag inherited from your great-grandmother

This wonderful little bag has been a phenomenal success. Its secret? It was created from a fabric that is over 80 years old!

It was our boss Beryl who
inherited it from her great-grandmother. Imagine the boom our hearts went through when we heard the news.

Instead of leaving this
precious fabric in her wardrobe, Beryl had the idea of using it to create a unique handbag whose symbolism is particularly close to her heart.

We love the fringing on the sides and the gold-coloured chain, which perfectly complements the style and colour of the fabric.

If you too have these kinds of wonders in your dressing room,
don't hesitate to entrust them to us! Together we can imagine the bag of your dreams.

The timeless purse bag! Will you believe us when we tell you that it was fabricated from scraps of Madura velvet curtains?

Here again,
we recycle!With a fabric of such fine quality, we don't hesitate to go all out! And in that sense, this extra cute little bag is a perfect example.

There's no need to open the doors of the great sewists' boutiques when
you can be your own sewist yourself!

So, ready to dig out all your old fabrics and let your imagination run wild?

There are so many ways to create a bag from your existing dressing room.
In fact, we've written a special article on
creating recycled denim bags.
Take a look, it should be of interest to you.
Feel free to use your old fabrics and
take pleasure in each of your upcycling projects. The aim, above all, is to create pieces that look like you and that you'll be proud of!"
