This deconstructed silk and denim shoulder tote is a combination a superb fabric, artisan technique, and durability.
The stunning silk panel is a stylised forest scene incorporating animals, birds and flowers. The image is split both horizontally and vertically across the middle and then mirrored. This panel covers one side of the entire bag. The other side is composed of two panels of dark denim.
The selvedge edge of the denim is sewn to show on the outside of the bag as is the top edge, revealing both sides of the denim, and the multicoloured hand stitching on the silk panel both inside and out of the bag. 
After sewing and construction, the bag is then steamed and pressed giving it a warn, tactile effect, and the typical crinkle characteristic you see in antique quilting. 
Completed with an inside pocket, a zip pocket, matching denim straps, riveted details, and a reinforced gusseted base, this bag is super strong, one of a kind, and totally unique.

         Waste not, want not! I like to satisfy my need to make use of 'the unwanted', sourcing vintage and antique materials, factory samples and offcuts, and anything else beautiful that catches my eye. I design and make all my products in the North Bohemian village of Starý Týn. Every item is handcrafted and therefore unique.
