Fabulous Bags


What’s so great about a Fabulous Bag?

It still fits even if you gain 5lbs.


Each Fabulous Bag started its life as a plain boring purse. A little interesting fabric here some vintage trim there, add a few crystals and rhinestones a dab of paint and voila!

That bag is Fabulous!

Artist’s note- these bags are recycled from thrift store finds. This means they have been gently used by someone else and then discarded. Colors and styles will vary and duplicates are well almost impossible- similar yes- exact? No. All effort is made to clean and sanitize each purse before they are remade into their fabulous new self. If the bag is not marked vintage then it was purchased new with the tags still on it and never used.
 

Beach Bag-
It’s never the wrong time to think about the beach. After all- it’s sunny and warm... somewhere! “Don’t you just love the beach” is covered in metallic fabric in a mermaid tail print front and back. Prominently on the front of the bag is a vintage photo of a sun bathing beauty framed in pink vintage sewing trim complete with white daisy button and bead trim, assorted sea shell stickers, Swarovski flat back crystals and a fringe of sequins ribbons and beads all edged in copper foil.
In its former life this bag was a navy blue leather lined purse with no tag inside (9 x 9 x 3”)
$65.00
 
Tiger Bar Bag
Honestly- what more does a girl need for a night out but a bag that holds her cell phone, lipstick and plastic? Plush tiger print bordered with black vintage millinery trim. The satin flap of this envelope bag is accented with swarovski flat back crystals and embroidered metallic gold medallion. The strap is long enough to toss this little kitty over your shoulder. In former life this bag was just a plain little satin evening bag from Claire’s – now it’s just purr-fect!
