A new handbag......

I wanted a handbag that was light, would go round my neck and was big enough to take my ipad!!!  I tried everywhere, why do they make handbags that weigh a ton before you even put your phone in them? So.. this is my new handbag, made from experiments while working with Jude Hill,  I built it round my ipad, but I wanted safe pockets for my cards and phone.  I went to buy a zip....£3.50 for the smallest size so I went to the charity shop, paid £1.95 for an old handbag and had a ready made secure pocket and phone pouch to put in my new bag with very little effort.
This front and back.

Louis Vuitton it ain't ..but it is just what I wanted.

Vuitton is SO over rated!
Your bag has provenance and innovative personality.......who needs a designer label!

Love your bag, its a one off so unique, who needs Vuitton.
Clever to use the bits off another bag, wish I had thought of that.

Greatr job with the bag! It'll be easier to see the bag on a background of contrasting colour. =D

Great bag, wish I'd thought of that, I bought a dedicated one for £35 and it's too small to take my glasses and purse so I have to stuff them in my coat pockets, ridiculous.
