These pics are some of my newest 'recycled' bags - the patterned ones are vintage fabric called barkcloth - it was used a lot in the forties and fifties for drapes and cushions, and has a wonderful nubbly texture. The pink and green bags are textured silk - the little pink one is trimmed floral ribbon from Mokuba. All of this material is vintage or rescued except for the pink silk and bits for the straps!
