Tie Bag (diagonal pinks & greens)

£65.00

Retro men’s ties are washed, unpicked and restitched together to give them a new lease of life and purpose in this playful yet practical tote style bag!

Front: Patch Reworked ties (polyester types for durability)

Back: Patch Reworked denims, with vintage button and tie loop.

Handles: 2 x ties (with concealed webbing for added strength) measuring 65cm in length from bag edge to edge.

Lining: “waste” tie fabric.

Due to the recycled nature and the spontaneous way I work with the original garment, each piece is unique and unrepeatable. Handmade at my studio / shop “Fabrications” in Hackney, East London.
