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
This lovely pale pink, top handled, handbag is the perfect accessory to accentuate your vintage style! A distinctive retro feel is created with the use of polka dot fabric throughout: matt-black oilcloth for the base and pale pink for the body. White fabric edging, soft white handles and a flower and bead trim on the record creates a unique look. It's the perfect size for all your important bits and pieces and the zip top enables you to open the bag wide for easy access. Ingenious side flaps inside ensure small items won't fall out!
Approx; 4" wide, 5" deep, at deepest point, with 14" total length handles, this is a great length to carry over your arm or by hand without being too long. This Handbag was stitched and glued carefully together with a wonderful, 50's, Singer sewing machine and crafter's pick, non toxic glues and finished with some hand stitching. It also has a card, and plastic handbag base insert.
Inside your new bag is a scroll with the care information on it for you to keep.
Be Aware: Although the flowers and beads have been glued on carefully, if they are picked at, they are liable to come off. Keep out of reach of children and check periodically to ensure they are all still accounted for. This is not a toy, keep out of reach of young children, beads and accessories can be a choking hazard.
