Renaissance - Evening
Decorated Vintage Bag
I bought this amazing chain mail bag on Vinted, and knew it was another renaissance bag.
I have attached 308 charms, inspired by renaissance paintings, all over the bag. At first I used only 150 charms but it was just not enough, so I made another 150! I added a new lining with a small pocket, fabric from my stash. The bag has two interchangeable straps of different lengths. Each bag is a totally unique one-off item.
Bag size : length 18cms/7ins, width 20cms/8ins. Finished size : length 38cms/15ins, width 22cms/8ins
Straps : 92cms/36ins and 60cms/23.5ins Short one came with bag, long is vinatge, new brass clasps.
I make the charms of layers of paper glued together, cut into shapes and highly hand decorated on both sides with gold or silver leaf and paints, finished with coats of waterproof varnish so they are fine if you get caught in the rain!
CUSTOMISE : choose your colours, I'll find a bag and make something specially for you.
YOUR BAG : do you have a much loved bag that needs a new lease of life? I can customise most bags.
My personalised consultation process means I can create to your specifications. Please note that custom orders will take between one to two months to make, depending if I need to find a bag or I have a suitable bag in stock, what charms I have or how many charms I will need to make.
