Maroon Vintage Silk Gift Bag - New

This is made of a dark maroon pure silk that has been reclaimed.  It features lots of fine zardosi and bead detailing.   This embellishment work is all hand done.

This was taken from a garment that was over 30 years old and we reclaimed the fabric where we could.

It is fully lined in cotton.

 

Dimensions are:

Handles – 32cm

Width – 30cm

Height – 29cm

 

Handmade in the UK.

We have a fabulous range of bags; each bag is made from reclaimed clothing that was destined for landfill.  We have rescued these clothes and upcycled the  fabric and trimming to create these one-off bags.   Some of the fabrics are from clothing that was decades old whilst others are more current.  As a result, you may see the odd flaw or mark in some of the fabrics however we believe this just adds to the character of the items.  

As some of the fabrics have been unpicked and reused occasionally you may see evidence of previous seams. 

The fabrics are carefully reclaimed to minimise wastage and the product is very much handmade.

Some of these bags feature elaborate embellishment work, for the most part this is intact however occasionally you may find the odd bead / sequin missing, anything very obviously noticeable will be mentioned in the description.

Every bag size is different as we try and utilise the fabric as best we can.

Please note that as these use mixed fabrics and a lot of them don’t have care labels hence  it is difficult to provide washing instructions.  If in doubt we recommend dry-cleaning for silks. Cottons can be gently hand cold washed.
