this versatile design works as both a skirt and a belt

Sophie, Brown bucket and beachside buddyMy grandmother had a bag shaped more or less like this one. She used it in the market, she said, but nowadays, I totally see this bag as belonging on a runway! When I saw this brown crochet fabric, it inspired me to recreate grammas bag, in crochet, and with genuine leather! The pattern of the crochet is what informed the shape of the bag, so every floral motif was preserved, strengthening the vintage inspiration of the bag.
