Black and White Collection

 This large tote in black and white mesh with sturdy black vinyl straps has a "scrunchie" style flap with a magnetic clasp to hold the top open. The bag is reinforced with a double outer shell and inner gusset as well as a funky decorative black/off-white printed lining.
The inside has two pockets, one of them zippered for extra security, and a reinforced base as well as a base board to help keep it in shape.
This great tote is hand-washable using a mild soap in lukewarm water. All the materials used in this wonderful bag are 100% re-purposed.
 Another little number from the Black and White collection, this lovely mesh purse/clutch features a double outer shell and a full vinyl lining. The braided strap sits comfortably across the body from shoulder to hip. The unusual closure mechanism is made of black leather and metal slides and a chunky clasp.


This little "folder" bag is also in black mesh and features a "scunchie" closure flap with a magnetic clasp. It opens out flat to reveal a black patent zippered inner purse and a slip pocket.
Chunky golden chain links add a little extra pizzazz to this compact but very useful purse





MORE HANDBAGS from HANNY-D
Upcycled suede Leather shoulder bag
Upcycled Black Leather shoulder bag
This beautiful bag is sourced from upcycled leather. All the hardware including clasp and rings have been recycled. The dark chocolate leather came from a coat. Here I've used both sides of the chocolate to achieve a slightly different texture and contrast. The green suede was originally a handbag that I cut up and turned inside-out to show off the stitching.

The shell of the black leather bag was once a man's coat. The strap came from a beautiful vintage embossed leather belt. All the hardward has also been recycled. The top of the bag has a recessed zipper. The inside is fully lined and has several deep pockets. The whole bag has been reinforced and has a removable inner base gusset.

Accessories in the pipeline

This is one of the new totes I've been working on lately. This one is a prototype which I've decided to keep for myself.

I'm making a few others for FASHFEST 2014....no sneak peeks yet!! I thought a simple theme would be nice seeing as my collection is classic retro.

Most of the accessories will be black and white with a splash colour here and there. I'm using re-purposed nylon mesh which is wonderfully easy to clean....and they're all hand-washable.

Look out for further details in coming posts!
