Recycled antique linen tote bag
£169.00
the most beautiful antique linen salvaged from a french postal service bag dated 1937 has been turned into a durable, everyday tote bag.
the material used to construct this bag is over 70 years old but still in the most wonderful condition. original printing and hand-stitching (repairs that were made by the owner of the bag many years ago) have been incorporated into this tote to highlight the unique nature of the material. any discoloration of the fabric is the result of many years of natural wear and aging.
fully lined with blue and white striped ticking fabric from days of olde, this large tote would be perfect for carrying everything you need during the day - a laptop, library books, groceries, or even clothes for a weekend trip. two good-sized inside pockets can easily hold a wallet, ipod, keys, camera.
beautiful soft leather shoulder straps are constructed out of a turn of the century barber’s strop (the leather strip used to sharpen a razor) from a barber shop that was located in new york. this particular barber’s strop is made out of seal leather from alaska (printing from the original strop can still be seen on the ends of the shoulder straps).
tote measures approximately 18 inches wide, 13 inches tall, 4 inches deep.
