Upcycling handbag curtains

Honestly, isn't this handbag a knockout?

Will you believe us when we tell you that it's made from fabric that's over 80 years old and belonged to Beryl's great-grandmother?

Upcycling: the beauty of heritage

When you can combine upcycling with feelings, you've won everything.

Some of us are lucky enough to inherit fabrics or clothes that belonged to our mother, grandmother or even great-grandmother.

If that's you, how about giving one of these fabrics a new lease of life by creating your own made-to-measure handbag?

A unique upcycled handbag

Instead of leaving this fabric lying around in your cupboard, use it! Personalise it to your image, taste and style. In other words, pay homage to it.

Imagine carrying a handbag whose origins and history evoke your Granny. You'll be so proud.

You can imagine any style of bag, as long as it matches the fabric you have available.

Here, it's a light, super chic handbag that doubles up as a clutch. We love the fringes on the sides and the metal chain strap!
