leather and wire clasp retro bag

Just made this retro chic bag.
I have made few changes from the previous one.
One change is that I have changed the wire shape so it will stabilize the leather parts more.

I have hand stitched the print onto the front pocket.

Just love this print!

You can put your purse through this back zipper and

it is stored inside this inner zipper pocket.

There are 3 pockets other than the above zipper pocket.

This is the second change I have made.
The strap is sewn on to the front of the bag,
and is connected to the back side.

The strap is pulled long when you open the bag.

Unique accordion purse bag

Just made this accordion purse bag with a wire & leather clasp.

Triangle stitches on the front side.

and a zipper pocket on the back side.

This leather is hand stitched, and has 3mm thick wire inside.

It opens wide like this, and has


12 card pockets

a note pocket

and a zipper coin pocket with this funny cone shaped holes.
I designed it so you can store coins by its type.

You can use it as a clutch,

or attach a strap and use it as a shoulder bag or

make it long and use it like a messenger bag.

hand woven NORO fabric and leather bag

Just finished making this lovely anti theft bag!
I have used this hand woven NORO crayon which was woven by my mum.

I hand stitched this drop shape pen holder and

a small pocket to the front of the bag.

I have used this antique brown leather hide for the gusset.

The front gusset has this hidden pocket.
It fitted my old mobile, but I think it's not big enough for the smart phone.



This is the back side of the bag, and it has the gusset zipper pocket.

You can put your purse through here,

and it will be stored inside the inner zipper pocket.

This is the inner zipper pocket and one small pocket.

There are 2 pockets on the other side.

a zipper pocket at the back.
Love this circle prints!


This zipper pocket is connected into

the inside of this inner zipper pocket.

It has 3 small pockets as well as the above zipper pocket.

Iphone 4 case with leather and the liberty

Just made this iphone 4 case to test if I can combine fabric and leather to make the case.
It turned out well!

I have attached this corner parts to make it more durable.

The back pocket is the liberty, with a handy centre window to slide cards in and out.

The inside is also liberty!
