A friend of mine, Louise has recently launched a new venture; Libellule - Handmade vintage style handbags...each one unique and stitched with love!
I visited her at her stall at Ipswich Vintage and Modern Market on the Waterfront last weekend. Here's a few pictures of her stand and her fabulous bags:
As you can see, her talents are not limited to bags, she also has a collection of beautiful handmade jewellery including necklaces and bracelets.
I think these bags would be great for bridesmaids, they are surprisingly spacious so can hold all of the essentials and still look elegant as they hang from the wrist - Louise can make them to fit in with your chosen colour scheme. The bags start from just £16.00 each.
Louise has a shop on Folksy which you can access here, or you can contact her at louise-at-libellule@hotmail.com or on 07780 663630.
