I selected cast-off dresses that had a sturdy weave, and a lot of texture to experiment with. After cutting the bags apart and reinforcing the fabric pleats with interfacing – I created a collection of handbags that are luxe yet durable enough to be worn everyday.
Suggested retail on these one of a kind bags is $198, with all auction proceeds going to benefit Ruby Room.
