@Bridger something like the, soon to be released, Winyl bag perhaps?
A bag wide enough to carry vinyl. Deep enough to carry wine. We’re all over it!
Whilst the Swatch bag is made of new denim offcuts. The Winyl bag is pure Reloved denim in all it’s scarred and faded glory.
Jeans that have been thrashed, but we have salvaged, and repaired, decent enough pieces to create these new large totes.
Here’s a quick taster of a couple of them…
FYI we currently only have enough fabric to make five of these beauties. I imagine they’ll be on sale, with five Swatch bags, in the next few weeks.

Haha, amazing!
That's a great idea 
Great name - and glad it holds wine as I don't buy vinyl and @Alex keeps recommending wine shops !

@jthomz with regards to timing, I’ve made a couple of samples of each which are being QC’d next week. Then it will take a couple of weeks to make the rest of this first batch and to then photograph and get them on the website.
With regards to shipping, these bags will be more than USD200 each, so will qualify for free shipping.
Hope you like them! - I’ll see if we can get some good quality video made so you can see how fab these are, as my pics don’t do them, or the amount of work done, any justice

The birth of a new Swatch bag. Made from duck hemming offcuts and lined with an Iron Heart sample - coming soon!
Actually, I’m not sure if I want to sell it - it’s just too
But then so is the mixed fade/non-fade black heavyweight Swatch bag (will be interesting to see how that wears)…and then the mixed weight 14-25oz indigo with UHF shirt lining.Let me know what fabric/lining combos you’d like to see and I’ll try to oblige

@Lynne wow I love the creative usage of fabrics here. Well done and looking forward to seeing pics of these out in the wild.

Does anyone make paper/card?
I want to use all of our small denim scraps and threads, and thought I could make some paper/card for art/greetings cards, book covers, bookmarks etc and wondered if anyone had already made paper from fabric.
I’m currently testing 100% denim pulp; 50/50 denim/paper; same again but with added cornstarch; all with just water.
There are so many combinations though, so if anyone has any advice (or a spare Holland beater
) it would be gladly received!
-
@Lynne you are a mad scientist and this is epic! Can’t wait to see the results of your experimentation. I wonder if it will come out with a similar texture to washi paper?

@SourPower so far it’s like a thick fibrous card
