Nelumbo Hair Design's Kick Start


                  *Blue and Brown Floral Handbag*
                                         $79

This velvety floral print is one of my favorite vintage fabrics that I have right now and it really makes a gorgeous handbag. The handbag is approximately 16 1/2 inches wide and about 11 inches deep, with magnetic snaps and two pockets inside. The handles are leather, stained with eco-friendly dye (we've gotta do everything we can, right?!). The handbag straps are about 21 inches long, giving you the option of also putting it on your shoulder... because sometimes you just need free hands. :)

If you are in the Idaho Falls area on November 7, check out Nelumbo Hair Design's Kick Start party at D'railed. This handbag will be auctioned in the silent auction! Raffle tickets are also being sold for $5 and there are a bunch of REALLY GOOD prizes (Prizes include credit at fabulous local spots such as: The Cellar, Indigo Natural Healing and Massage, Brady's and D'railed. Food, drinks, massages, hair cuts and much more are also up for grabs). And if you buy 10 or more tickets you'll get that back in haircuts and styles from Stephanie. And this girl is good. She's the only one I've found since I moved here from South O.C. that can cut like my beloved stylist Lanette in Huntington Beach.  Anyway, the party starts at 6 and raffle tickets are being sold at Eternite Salon and D'railed.

If you aren't in the Idaho Falls area, however, I do have a little more of this fabric. Maybe enough for 2 more handbags. If you are interested, you can comment or email me at chezvintagehandbags@gmail.com.

They're A Comin'!

Oh, yes they are. These vintage fabrics are a comin' to you in handbag form. They're cut and ready, just waiting for some sewing, straps and clasps. Just thought I'd give you a sneak preview of these lovely velvets. And stay tuned because the first handbag is a raffle give away for a certain awesome hair stylist, looking to start her own salon. It just happens to be one of my very favorite fabrics. ;)
