Lotus Pond


A couple of days after I showcased the Modern Hippie  carry all on my blog, I received a message from a nice lady requesting a bag such as this, but in a different colourway. Being partial to Amy Butler's fabrics, she wanted something flowery, but not too girly. After sending her a few samples she decided on a fabric from an older collection - Lotus Pond Ivory. I combined this green/gray/cream printed fabric with a solid jade green. As per her request I included a zippered interior pocket, two lined pockets, a long removable strap to wear the bag cross-over style plus a shorter version to slip the bag over the shoulder. Again, the band around the top part pulls out to become two short handles. I think the two fabrics together look great and this truly is one very versatile bag!

What great service you provide:) It's nice when a custom design actually helps you think of great new ideas you'd actually want to use in the future. Also, in thinking about this design, one thing I missed before but realize is so great about this bag is how deep it is. Usually bags of this size are wider than they are deep, but this way it's more compact (for us clumsy people) haha.

It is such a sweet, soft and delicate color. Love that it is a shoulder bag. They are so hard to find these days, at least where I am.

It's a lovely bag and it's wonderful you were able to provide so much customization for her. It sounds like the perfect bag with all the stuff added to the inside. Another fabulous creation Duni!

Hugs to Sammy!
