Ikat bag with recycled denim - diaper bag, large over the shoulder bag

This bag is extra large and will carry everything you just might need to battle the day!

I have taken apart an entire pair of 'ugly' jeans stitch by stitch and re-purposed them into this bag. Even though taking the jeans apart in this way took a very long time, it allows for the details of age and use to come out and give the new design more depth of texture and color!

This bag has one zippered pocket on the outside and two small pockets as well.  Inside there are two large pockets made from the front pockets of the jeans.  One of these pockets is even a double pocket.

This bag is reinforced inside, but still soft and can be folded down pretty small to fit into another bag, if you'd like.

The striped fabric used for this bag comes from Bali, Indonesia and has been hand dyed and hand woven using the ikat method. This is genuine ikat, not a print! Ikat is a labor intensive art of weaving that involves dying each strand individually, then weaving them into stunning, vibrant patters which can be recognized from island to island, village to village.

Textiles such as these are handwoven by the women, an ancient art typically passed down from mother to daughter. Part of the proceeds for the sale of this piece goes to support Threads of Life to keep this cultural art alive. http://www.threadsoflife.com/index.asp

Measurements: 55cm x 38cm x 15cm (21.5in x 15in x 6in) (not including the handles)

Thanks for visiting my shop!

*I am selling this piece as a sample. There may be slight details that are not perfect, which you actually may never notice, and while, these imperfections won't interfere with your use of the design, I hope you can appreciate the individuality of the piece.  Thank-you!
