Beaded Cross-body

Hand stitched and held together with a beaded blanket stitch, the pouch is made from rectangular samples from upholstery catalogues. As the leather pieces have size constraints, blanket stitch allows to maximize the space inside. Pocket is held in place with a simple running stitch. The beaded blanket stitch extends further to make bag’s crossbody strap.

​

The bag is an attempt in exploration of colours and textile. Blue beads are held together with bottle green thread, sewed onto pink leather. Red pocket adds a layer of color atop the pink and a yellow button, stitched in green thread, adds contrast.
