recycled industrial waste into high fashion handbags

It’s easy (okay, easier - being creative isn’t an easy job!) to be creative when you’ve got the best quality handbag materials in your studio…

matching your nail polish to your handbag - Versace style

I’m trying to decide if it’s totally shallow of me to want this dark plum embossed patent leather tote by Versace strictly on the basis of it matches my nail polish?

Or should I just accept that it’s a pretty purse and stop over-thinking it :-)

stylish Japanese bags from Tokyo Made

 Let’s take a few minutes to step away from Fashion Week and travel somewhere else :-)

thrifted find of the week - cheap & cheerful cherries

I just couldn’t resist when I found this in the second-hand shop this morning:

Now, it’s not like I need more purses (heck, how many of us actually need a new purse??) but I saw those sparkly, beaded cherries and couldn’t put it down.
