wood-handled bags

Unknowingly I have acquired quite the collection of vintage wood-handled bags for the shop - there's an ease & charm about them that I like a lot. They are casual and cute and I love how the pattern possibilities are almost endless. Born from the practicality and resourcefulness that was paramount during WWII, these sensible purses could be made at home of plentiful materials like wood, plastic and found materials such as scraps of old clothing, drapery & upholstery.  Some of these are already in the SHOP and the rest will be making their way in throughout the autumn.
