Handbags are transformed into stylish wall art

May 14, 2010 by Stefanie Girard

handbags

I believe that a collection of anything can be pretty but when you start out with lovely things the effect of a group of  them is positively stunning.

Such as in this case where the designer at the blog Sassy Trash made this wonderful wall art with black purses, frames and some florals.

    I am thinking this is a great craft idea for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, she must have a huge stash of those lovely black handbags she has with her all the time. 🙂

Rustic Town Canvas Leather Tote Bag

I absolutely love this bag! I was looking for something that felt a bit more unique than your average tote—and this one totally delivers. The mix of canvas and leather gives it a rustic, well-traveled vibe that I’m obsessed with. It looks like something you’d pick up in a boutique or a vintage market, but it’s surprisingly affordable.

The quality really impressed me—thick material, strong stitching, and the leather straps feel like they’ll last forever. I’ve been using it as my everyday carry-all for errands and casual outings, and it fits everything without losing its shape. It even looks better the more I use it.

Also, I appreciate that it has a bit of a story—it feels like a bag that was made with care, not just churned out in a factory. I’ve gotten so many compliments, and people are always surprised it came from Amazon!

If you’re into that rugged, effortless style and want something durable with charm, this tote is 100% worth it. Check it out here on Amazon.
