Are you a material girl? Not for material things, but for beautiful swatches of fabric material. If looking at colorful yardage feels inspirational, why not take it along in the form of a unique handmade bag? Purses that are created from scratch are true designer originals. Whether they are ordered online or made at home, no other woman will have one just like it.
Ready To Wear Isn't Always Ready
Cookie cutter purses can get boring. It can also be hard to find the right combination of prints, colors and textures that work with individual outfits. Trying to find a ready-to-wear plaid bag in shades of chartreuse, melon and turquoise can be a daunting task. Unusual color combinations are easier to create using fabric. They are also more affordable than leather or suede.
Fabric Bags Are Functional
Because there are so many different material types available, bags like this make perfect accessories. They offer the same function as other types of purses, but are lighter in weight. Many women couldn't live without their favorite fabric tote. Not many other styles could survive a soak in soapy water and live to see another day.
Handmade Bags Can Be Individualized
Handmade or couture purses are 100% original. They can be made as tiny clutches or be made into a giant roomy tote. The material can be puffed, painted and quilted. It can be embroidered with a logo, personal statement or initials. Even the handles and clasps can be completely individualized. They can resemble large squares, back packs and even drawstring pouches for fun.
The Design Options Are Endless
Handmade items are special. They are also fun to design. Solid colors look fun with a print border that matches the collar of a dress or the hem of a skirt. It's a fun fashion look. Designs that are made by hand can be created to match any theme. Ballerinas, beach scenes, animal prints, polka dots, stripes, plaids and funky textures make the design options endless.
The Gift That Keeps On Giving
When it comes to buying the gift that keeps on giving, tote-style purses make a great gift idea for any age girl. Young girls will love them for carrying school projects, sleepover pajamas and books for visiting Grandma. Teenage girls would love a cool design for the beach or pool where they have enough room for their romance novels, sunglasses, tanning lotion and flip flops. Older women can appreciate the thoughtful gift of a couture purse created in all their favorite shades.
There is a timeless appeal to the fabric handbag. It brings to mind a bygone era when women had the time to piece together beautiful scraps of material into something lovely to wear. Now, women have the ease of ordering their couture dreams online. Being a material girl has never been better.
