Glazed fabric is heavy canvas that is coated with a colored glaze, embossed and stretched to give a leather-like crinkled look. All glazed fabric bags are sturdy, water-resistant and incredibly easy to care for. Your bag will develop a subtle patina, after it's been broken in a bit. Suitable for vegans and vegetarians and lead-free.
Glazed fabric handbags can spot-cleaned with soap and water or machine-washed (turn the bag inside-out). Hang dry.
(Please do not put your bag in the dryer.)
Vintage Fabric:
Each of the vintage fabrics and rare textiles used in my designs are extremely limited edition. I hand-select, reinforce and gently coat the fabric with stain repellant, before it is sewn into my one-of-a-kind handbags. I favor atomic-era barkcloth and large florals - but also have a soft spot for fabulous taffeta, grosgrain, and prints from the 1940's - 70's.
Recycled leather:
On exclusive occasions, Crystalyn Kae offers recycled leather handbags. A small selection of our classic handbags are available with vegetable tanned leather or recycled leather. Many feature braided straps and vintage fabric accents and are extremely limited-edition.
