The Archives

The base is a super cool old school floral with birds and trees and loads of flowers – it’s dead stock I picked up maybe 7 or 8 years ago and I’ve been sitting on it ever since, waiting for the right project to come along.

The colors are predominately magenta, sunflower, and blueberry, with some greens and oranges for accent colors. The collage work is my usual random bits and pieces of whatever was handy and looked good at the time.

The lining is crafted from a suzani print and there’s a single interior slip pocket. The exterior side pockets are perfect for stashing a phone or dropping in your key fob if you’ve got a push button starter – they are snug enough to keep the contents secure but the opening is wide enough that you can get a regular sized phone in this version.
