What’s incredibly chic, totally green and so not for the kids? It would have to be these gorgeous handmade bags by Aussie designer Kara Smith. Based in the Blue Mountains this talented artist creates totally unique designs (they’re all hers!) using recycled, salvaged and vintage fabrics that are handmade into fabulously funky bags of all shapes and sizes.
Available in a stunning range of totes, handbags, clutches and ballerina bags, if you somehow can’t manage to find ‘just the thing’ amongst her divine collection, then she’ll custom design one just for you. Or perhaps you feel like spoiling a friend this Xmas? There’s a vast and eclectic mix of looks, including pretty florals, vivid geometrics and smart classics.
I don’t think there’s a woman around who wasn’t in need of a bag at some time; with these eco fabulous accessories you’ll add terrific flair to your outfit, while supporting a local indie designer and repurposing some rescued fabrics. But watch out for older daughters, or you may not have your bag for long.
