This deconstructed toile de Jouy and denim tote is a combination a superb fabric, artisan technique, and durability.
This amazing Manuel Canovas fabric is hand stitched to a layer of Japanese denim following the design of the toile de Jouy above. 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, the green and yellow hand stitching both inside and out of the bag, and any raw edges.
Made from panels of fabric, one side of the bag is hand stitched toile de Jouy over denim, and the other side has the panel of denim left exposed. After sewing and construction, the bag is then washed and shrunk to give a warn, tactile effect, some frayed edges, and the typical crinkle characteristic you see in antique quilting. 
Completed with an inside pocket, a zip pocket, 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.
