Introducing to you a wonderful designer in England.
The elegant handbag is made from an original 1930’s/40’s cotton feed sack imported from the USA. It also has a royal blue lining with internal pocket. (This is created from one of our feedsacks)
**It is so exciting to see our products used by several national & international designers.
Charlie Boots (named after the Bristol designer behind the project) is an edgy, ethically-minded shop on Broad Street, Bath offering clothing, art, accessories and homewares.
Newly opened, and already enjoying a healthy interest from local fashion-seekers, the shop's ethos focuses on 'conscious design' and favours sustainable, recycled, upcycled accessory brands and the occasional vintage find.
GIVEAWAY END TOMORROW CLICK HERE
As well as offering sustainable womens wear and affordable jewelry from Charlie Boots herself, the space showcases local artists and designers, plus innovative brands such as Elvis & Kresse (upcycled fire hose) - winner of Cartier's Women's Initiative Awards, 2011.
Charlie Boots makes her own limited edition line of ethical womenswear, and also makes jewelery from vintage and recycled materials; she can find potential in the unexpected to create something covetable and unique.

ReplyDeleteHello dear friend! I just stopped by to say hi and see what you were up to. I love that feedsack bag!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope all is great with you and Harold and that you are staying warm over there in your beautiful corner of the country. It has been frigid here. Two mornings ago it was 5 degrees. I think that is TOO DARN COLD---don't you? Still no snow, but I am sure that will be remedied soon. All is great with Dale and I and Landon. And we are sending warm wishes to you for a wonderful day.
love to you,
Cool stuff--love the bags but the clothes look cute too!
ReplyDeleteHope you are doing well.
