Item details
I once saw a picture of a handbag made with records, and so, I tried various ways to create my own as I wanted to make one for my mums birthday. I succeeded, but thought there might be a better way to combine all the elements together, which didn't involve melting the LP at a precise angle! I found a way and loved it so much I made my mum another one and made some to sell too!
The records used for my bags are unloved or unplayable for one reason or another so may show marks or warping.
L.P's need protecting, don't leave next to a hot radiator for prolonged periods of time, or near a frosty window as vinyl can warp or become brittle in these conditions. Wipe clean with a soft dry or damp cloth or a wet wipe, dry carefully afterwards. Try not to get it too wet as water could soak into the cards and glues used and make the things in your bag soggy, or compromise the structure of the bag. If you get caught in a rain storm, pop it under your arm or shelter it with an umbrella.

Full description
Show off your unique style with this wonderful black and white, anchor print, rockabilly style, record handbag. The base, in matt black oilcloth, is bedecked with polka dots and looks very 50s/60s. The top zip opens wide to allow easy access (and makes it easier to find things!) whilst the inside barriers stop those little bits and bobs we keep in the bottom of our bags from falling out.
The bag measures approximately 4" wide and at its deepest 5". It is 12" long. The handles are 14", the perfect length to be able to put over your arm to carry.
The vinyl record and oilcloth base are easy to wipe clean using a soft cloth.
This handbag was created using an old, unloved L.P, new fabric and oilcloth, stitched and glued carefully together with a wonderful, 1950s Singer sewing machine, glued with crafter's pick, non toxic glues and finished with some hand-stitching. It also has card and a plastic handbag base insert. (Inside your new bag is a scroll with the care information on it for you to keep.)
The keyring has also been made by me using my die cutting machine for the anchor shape with black felt, glued onto white felt and tied with a ribbon.
This bag is not a toy. Keep dry.
