When I saw this vintage paisley printed silk, I knew it was destined to be made into a purse. I love the faded tones of the purple and grey print.
As you've probably guessed I have a fondness for reclaimed fabrics, their subtle colours and worn edges add to the character of my designs, as well as being one off a kind.
An envelope purse is perfect for keeping safe precious letters, postcards and trinkets.

Hello sweet Victoria! I am coming over from Flickr to visit your lovely blog! I had a feeling that gorgeous fabric was vintage! I love that you made it into a purse, and a very pretty one at that! You sew beautifully and are very creative! The lovely vintage postcard and pretty necklace are perfect treasures to keep in your envelope purse!
