Deze tassen zijn geschikt voor dagelijks gebruik, naar je werk, in de stad of als je je vrienden ontmoet. Je kunt de tasband schuin over je lijf dragen (cross-body) of, als je de band door de drukknopen korter maakt, over je schouder. Deze lichtgewicht tas heeft ruimte voor je portemonnee, een klein (note)boek, en al je andere kleine benodigdheden.

+ ritssluiting
+ 3 platte binnenvakjes
+ handige sleutelclip
+ verstelbare tasband: 60 of 125 cm, d.m.v. drukknopen
+ afmetingen: 25 x 34 x 9 cm (HxBXD)
+ lichtgewicht
+ €115 (excl. verzenden)

Deze tas is gemaakt van glad leren bodem in de kleur leisteen en een oker curry gekleurd stevige katoenen bovenkant, die aan een kant bedrukt is (met de hand, zeefdruk). De tas is gevoerd met donkergrijs katoen en de metalen delen zijn bronskleurig.

Al mijn leren en stoffen producten worden met de hand gemaakt en handbedrukt, veelal van teruggewonnen en hergebruikte materialen, dus elke tas is uniek en eco-vriendelijk.

proven new friend

My first bag since about a year is finished! (see, i've sewn many )
Nowadays I'm happy again sewing bags because of my lovely new sewing machine. My old one (still comfortably on a corner on my working table) just couldn't sew leather which I wanted to try for a long time.
So now a shoulder bag was born today, one with leather bottom and self designed and home printed fabric on top, an adjustable strap (by poppers) from 66 cm to 125 cm, a key clip and three inner pockets, closes with a zipper, €95 excl shipping, incl VAT/BTW. You can order it here.
There's more to come as you can see in the pictures. What do think of  it?

I made a textile painting too. In my student days I used to paint a lot, now I try to make it look the same but with handprinted designs and layers of fabric and stitching.

lolloping luring leather

 
 I've been doing some try outs with leather which is something I've long been wanting to do. But it turnes out to be more difficult than I thought it would be. The leather stretches and slips, is too thick etc. I always challenge myself... I cut my teeth on it ....I will succeed.... grrr.... :-)


In the meantime I made some more DIY Wander Wasbeer (racoon) soft toy kits ready to be sold in our Eco design pop-up store  (see post below).

new

Finished it today. I don't even have a bag of my own for myself! I think I'll keep this one for myself... or not ? I say that all the time when I like the end product. 
I work hard to produce more items beside all orders, but each and every one is a delivery and always takes a lot more time than I expect at the start.

in the market

My bags are to be seen several shops as a preview prior to the 'artmarket' in my hometown on June 6. They are in a supermarket for biological foodproducts and in 2 shops for ladies clothing.
