Vintage- Barkcloth- Bag. Hand Made. One of a Kind.
"Garden Lake"
This Bag is professionally Tailored.
The outside fabric is Barkcloth circa "1940" depicting a person on a boat on a lake in a beautiful garden. The colors are beautiful. And the image is serene and peaceful.
The front adornment is a metal Pin circa "1950" of a pair of Dutch shoes filled with four colorful little tulips made from plasticine and framed with green tulip stems.
The back pocket measures -Length-7" X Width-6" with a flap that has a fabric hook to latch over the back pocket closure that is a metal button that I hand painted.
The bag measures : Length-13" X Width -12" with a strap that measures 45" in length and hangs nicely as a cross body bag.
The lining is sturdy and beautiful upholstery fabric that blends in perfectly with the outside barkcloth fabric of the bag and has two retailer inside pockets measuring 7" X 7".
The bag is lined with heavy weight fusible fleece interfacing making it sturdy and very well padded as well as nice and stiff in construction. I have also added fringe around the front flap that I took from the upholstery lining fringed edges and fur trim with an elegant velvet embroidered edge. Both of these touches blend in a perfectly complement the Story Bag.
As a final touch the bag has been sprayed with a protective coating of fabric protectant that is water and stain repellant. The bag also comes with a little tag detailing the materials used to make it.
