VintiqueDesigns loves unusual designs and patterns. If PURPLE is your jam, you will love this bag! Our Valerie bag is just such a pattern. It combines pleats with top stitched panels, and offers a trim, stylish bag with a roomy interior, and perfect shoulder carry!
The vintage cotton barkcloth we've used is a RARE treat of PURPLE on a White background. It is textured and nubby, as only real Barkcloth can be!
The bag is a triangular shape, smaller at the top and expanding at the bottom with pleats on front and back. The bag closes with a self-fabric strap and a huge vintage button!
Measurements: 10" across the top, expanding to 16" across retailer the bottom, and is 11" tall. The straps are 1" wide, and 29.5" long, with a 13.5" drop to the bag. This is a Medium size bag.
The new cotton lining is pale lavender-pink, with Paisley designs & tiny Roses in pink & purple. The inside has four patch pockets on either wall.
VintiqueDesigns uses pre-laundered fabrics to prevent shrinking and fading. We apply heavy weight fusible interfacing (to stabilize the vintage fabrics, and help the bag to retain it's shape!) to all pieces before assembly. Our bags may be machine washed and dried, as needed in a mesh laundry bag.
