Super stylish and attractive, edgy, classy and fun! Miss Bandolera is perfect for evenings out, days out shopping or for an everyday bag. She’s small but perfectly formed to fit the essentials and super safe tucked under your arm while you’re out and about.
With the detailed woven shoulder strap, heads will turn, it’s an instant conversation starter, and can be made in three different lengths to change the look. Made up of different panels you can create all sorts of effects, perfect to show off embroidery on the front of the bag flap, the centre of the shoulder strap, or maybe a perfectly placed focal point of a fabric piece on the front.
The pattern can be made using cork, vinyl, quilting cotton, and lots of other fabrics. It requires non-fraying fabrics for the strap but otherwise, you can use almost anything!
The finished size of the bag is 22cm x 17cm x 10cm or 8 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ x 4″
