 Carmen Handbag
with Round Handle

..

Meet Carmen, my new One-of-a-kind red handbag featuring 

a Poppy Flower Doll Face with vintage Handles.

“I knew I had to make some beautiful bags with that lovely Red mesh fabric I found in summer. It reminds me of the old Spanish window lattices, carnations, and poppy flowers… It matched perfectly with the cream vintage handles that I kept from a long ago. Poppy flower dolls cheered it up with her smiling faces and then… I realized that Carmen as the best name for this very limited and unique collection.”

..

These are the two mini tote bags I made from a beautiful red mesh, 

a cute lightweight fabric that is also sturdy and resistant. 

I sewed and assembled it, it's reinforced with double seams. 

They both come with two round comfortable vintage plastic handles 

in a cream/bone white color.

Used some Black Velvet and Felt, 

as petals, 

to decorate the embroidered Poppy flowers 

Perfect for everyday essentials. 

You can carry a wallet, phone, make-up, keys… 

for city walks and nights out. 

for any crafter or sewing enthusiast.

They make an original and cute gift. 

Enjoy! 🌺 ❤️

❤ Secret Keeper Collection ❤

A collection of girly vintage Handmade Bags inspired by Big Eye dolls and Twiggy, featuring a very sixties doll face stitched on the front and two legs hanging from the bottom bag.

Besides holding the essentials to go for an evening walk as a small phone, keys, lipstick, coins purse... And as the collection name says, these mini bags are created to keep all your little secrets, thoughts or wishes.

There's an inside pocket containing a blank notecard for filling in with secrets, and another notecard for you to choose from different occasions: Happy Birthday, Happy Xmas or a Love greeting.

They made the cutest envelope for sending a love message or the most original greeting! 

It will be a really cute handmade unique and personalized gift.

❤ Doll Face
This big-eyed smiling doll face has yellow felted hair, wears long pompom earrings and a tiny felt bow on the top of her head.

Trunk, a New Bag by Caterina Pérez and Misako Mimoko

★

★

here is "Trunk",
a very personal review of the retro barrel gym bag
that Caterina Pérez and I have thought and rethought together,
 i'm really excited about this special collaboration.
i enjoyed very much arranging sewing & embroidering classes with her,
and i had fun again doing this new project.
love Caterina and the way she cares on details,
her patience and quietness,
her manners, temper and humor,
but the thing that i like the best is that
you can always see the child she was, and she is.

so i guess and i hope that there'll be more classes, bags... or whatever
in the future.
it took me a while to find a common design and theme
in which both were comfortable,
not too much Misako Mimoko, nor Caterina.
several stamps and tests,
and finally i came across this multi stamp sheet that saved me to stamp each trunck one by one :)

this bag will be available at 9h (spanish time) on her on-line shop:
Les Bags.
hurry up if you like it, because it's a very-very limited edition!
hope you like it as much I do :)
happy week!!!

★

he aquí "Trunk", o tronquito, como queráis llamarle,
nuestra versión de la bolsa de deporte setentera
que hemos pensado y repensado Caterina Pérez y yo.
una colaboración muy especial, con la que estoy muy ilusionada.
disfruté haciendo clases con ella en Casa sagnier,
y he disfrutado mucho diseñando este nuevo proyecto.
me gusta Caterina y me gusta mucho cómo cuida los detalles,
la paciencia y la tranquilidad con la que se mueve,
su trato con los demás,
su genio y su sentido del humor,
pero lo que más me gusta es que se vé la niña que fué, y que es.

así que supongo y espero que habrán más clases juntas y habrán más bolsa-bolsos,
o lo que se tercie :)

me llevó un tiempo en llegar a algo común,
ni demasiado misako mimoko que le hiciera sentir incómoda,
ni tan Caterina... que fuese muy ajeno a mi.

varias pruebas con sellos y técnicas...
y al final una plancha que me salvó de tener que estampar los tronquitos uno a uno.

mañana como buen madrugador que es, estará a las 9h en la tienda Les Bags,
esperando un nuevo hogar.
es una edición super limitada, así que si os gusta, corred porque creo que volarán :)

espero que os guste tanto como a mí!
feliz semana!!

Making

hi:)
i've been busy with some orders from the shop,
no money either orders for screenprinting them...
i hand paint them so there's an original drawing on each tote bag,
i love painting this kettle :)
small bags and cases have been more popular lately
and the red square design is sold out.
black circle braided girl is waiting patiently at the shop
looking for a new home.

have a lovely crafty day.

♡‿♡

hola :)
he estado haciendo algunos pedidos de la tienda,
como no hay dinero ni suficientes ventas como para hacer serigrafías...
las pinto a mano, así que hay un dibujo original en cada unos de esos totes,
me encanta pintar esta tetera :)

los bolsitos y fundas han tenido éxito últimamente
y el diseño con el cuadrado rojo se ha agotado.
la chica de las trenzas espera paciente en la tienda
buscando su nuevo hogar.

feliz día.

New Shop Update! Circle & Square.

i’ve been making new goodies for fairs and special events,
i felt like making some basic summer accessories
with hand stamped thick natural cotton canvas,
lovely vintage faux horn buttons
and elastic bands for closing,
red gingham fabric and a natural cotton cord
for the inside and strap...

and simple concepts:
Circle and Square.

A black braided circle
and a red nosed square.

these small girly sling bags are big enough for a wallet,
keys, or a cell phone, camera, cosmetics...
a cute pouch to take for an outing.

.

these cotton cases are really good for storing cosmetics, glasses,
pens, brushes, scissors and even crochet needles...
helping to keep your gadget organized and scratch free.


it's a very limited edition because i made them only for selling at fairs
and i won't be making more.
i'm trying to work on new dolls :)
i just have 6 bags and 3 cases left
available at my shop.

hope you like them!
happy week to you all ♥


he estado haciendo algunas cosilla nuevas para vender en la últimas ferias,
me apetecía hacer algunos bolsitos veraniegos con tela gordita de algodón
estampada con sellos caseros,
botones antiguos con forma de cuerno
y gomas elásticas para los cierres,
vichy rojo para los interiores
y cuerda de algodón para el asa...

y unos conceptos muy simples:
Círculo y Cuadrado.

Un círculo negro con trenzas
y un cuadrado con nariz roja.

estos bolsitos están pensados para llevar el monedero y las llaves,
el móvil o la cámara de fotos, maquillaje...
para salir un momento a la calle, o a pasear.

·
los estuches son perfectos para guardar los lápices,
gafas, pinceles o ganchillos.
para proteger de arañazos o mantenerlos organizado.

es una edición muy limitada porque los hice sólo para ferias,
y no creo qe vaya a hacer más,
quiero ponerme a hacer nuevas muñecas :)
así que he subido los 6 bolsitos y 3 estuches
que me quedan a la tienda.

espero que os gusten!
feliz semana ♥
