Leather & Lace Bags


I have done a post before on

leather and lace but I just

wanted to inspire you again on

finding vintage leather bags

and embellishing them with doilies

and lace ~

I found these at a flea market

recently but I have to say,

here in Texas, vintage leather

bags are very few and far between ~

I think they are kind of sought after!


It is fun to grab a pile of

doilies and just play around

with placement until you like

how they look ~


I glued mine on with Fabri Fix

that works great with fabric and leather ~



I also added a flower to the front

that was also created using

vintage laces and doilies ~



Here is how they looked

before ~

These are so nice Lori...I have a couple leather bags that are old and boring but I love them anyway. What a perfect way to gushy them up a bit!
