Small cross-body bag

This small, practical zipper pouch is perfect for your most essential items - wear it as an evening pouch or keep your documents and ticket safe and handy when you travel.

Made from soft vegan leather and handmade embroidery - not two are the same!

Shop news: crossbody purses and coin pouches

With flowers still very much on my mind, I added some new card purses to my shop this week - the design has slightly changed, with a softer, rounder shape to complement the faux leather. Each purse is decorated with a patch of dark grey vegan leather, embroidered with plants and blossoms. Purses have zipper closure and an interior pocket for a bank note, coupons and such.

Another new design is a small crossbody purse or zipper pouch, small but roomy enough to hold a phone (there is a small pocket for it inside), keys, lipstick and other essentials for an evening out. The new bag can also be a practical travel pouch for keeping your passport and other papers handy. Made from faux leather or sturdy canvas, the purse closes with a zipper and hangs on a soft cotton cord.

 

Photographing these was quite a challenge, one cloudy day I had everything set by the large windows in the living room when a dark cloud completely covered the sky and took all the light with it. The next day sun was blasting from the sky with such intensity it turned all my pictures yellow and no amount of photoshopping could fix them. So yesterday I finally got a break with a perfect soft natural light  and a little decorative help from my blossoming azalea :-)

Have a great Sunday!

Ta teden sem v trgovino dodala nove denarnice in torbice za čez ramo. Večinoma iz umetnega usnja, z novim, mehkejšim krojem. Denarnice so dovolj prostorne za drobiž, nekaj kartic in kakšen bankovec (potisnjen v poseben žepek v notranjosti). 

Druga novost so torbice za čez ramo, majhne, a dovolj prostorne za večerni izhod ali kot potovalni žep za dokumente. Vsem je skupna cvetlična vezenina na sprednji strani (hvala azeleji za inspiracijo) in torbice imajo naramnico iz mehne bombažne vrvi.

Lepo nedeljo vam želim!

October news

So much to tell, so little time! Between sewing, taking pictures and editing them there is hardly enought time left to blog about it...

The nature is changing into red, orange and yellow and such is the latest messenger bag in my shop - I added a large dragonfly metallic charm in front and the soft adjustable strap in chocolate brown was chosen over the yellow one thanks to the input from my Facebook followers :-)

The second purse is a Pippa handbag, elegant and petite bag for special occasions - I chose dove grey and dark brown upholstery fabrics with beautiful structure, silver thread for embroidery and some purple and olive green ribbons to add a bit of colour. Handmade kanzashi flower brooch is detachable and can be worn on a bag or on your top to coplete the look.

A new home, anyone? Here are the latest house brooches, don't forget the Christmas tree...

Oktobrske novičke

Ko si utrgam čas za šivanje, fotografiranje izdelkov in friziranje fotk v računalniku, komaj ostane kaj časa še za blog! Tukaj je nekaj novosti, dodanih v zadnjih tednih: nova jesenska torba s kačjim pastirjem, elegantna torbica v umirjenih, zimskih tonih s snemljivo broško ter tri hiške broške, ki se že veselijo Dedka Mraza... Po novem lahko v moji trgovini plačujete direktno s kartico, tudi če nimate računa PayPal, zraven pa lahko zahtevate pošiljko s sledenjem in zavarovanjem.

Vibrant colours for spring

I have added two new PUPA shoulder bags to my shop recently, both made from gorgeous, shimmering chenille upholstery fabrics that I purchased during my visit to Slovenia (I could only bring back a few smaller pieces since I was traveling by plane - next car trip I will definitely get some more).

PUPA bag is a classic Loddelina design in soft, roomy shape, with a decorative and very handy zipper pocket in the back (for phone or coin purse) plus a new feature, a key holding swivel hook on a long strap that allows you to unlock your front door without even taking your bag off the shoulder!

Bags are decorated with a large starfish applique in corduroy that I freehand embroidered and shoulder straps are made from multicoloured striped canvas.

The sky is grey these days and the rain doesn't seem to stop so a bit of bright colour is just what the doctor ordered!



Živahne barve za pomlad

V mojo trgovino sem dodala dve malhasti torbi PUPA, narejeni iz sočne šenilje, ki je sicer namenjena oblazinjanju pohištva. Pupa je mehka in prostorna torba za na ramo, ki ima na zadnju strani dekorativen in zelo uporaben žep za telefon ali denarnico. Na notranji je novost, kaveljček za ključe na dolgem traku - tako lahko vhodna vrata odklenete, ne da bi torbo snele z rame.

Torbe krasi našita morska zvezda iz rebrastega žameta, ki je po vrhu prostoročno povezena, in večbarvne črtaste naramnice.
