On-the-go and hands-free - this Lemon Tree Waist Bag fastens securely around the waist to allow you to go hands-free. This small purse is large enough for a phone, small wallet, and more. It has a slip pocket on the outside directly under the flap. Inside is one zippered pocket and another patch pocket on the other side. The waist strap is adjustable. In fact, the bag could be worn over the shoulder or crossbody, but it is meant to be worn as a waist bag. The purse is 9" wide by 7" long and 2" deep. It was fashioned from the retailer Lemon Tree Waist Bag pattern by Bagstock Designs.
The photographs show two purses. The shimmery colored one is "unicorn roots" cork. The other is "natural rustic" cork. I can sew this purse in either fabric or in a fabric of your choice. Message me with your specific wishes.
Handmade in Merritt Island, Florida
"Cork Fabric is fabric-backed cork strips created sustainably from the bark of cork oak trees in Portugal. First, the cork bark is harvested from the cork oak trees with machetes. Removing the bark from the cork oak trees does not harm the tree. The life expectancy for a cork tree is 200 years, and can be harvested every 10 years, so a single cork oak tree can be harvested multiple times while living a healthy life! Next, the cork bark is boiled in water to alter the cell structure of the cork, to create a more manageable material. There are no chemicals needed, just water! The cork is then shaved into thin sheets and glued to their fabric backing creating the cork fabric. Finally, the cork is coated to keep it manageable!" (description from Sassafras Lane Designs)
