black cats

We at modeS4u feel incredibly lucky because our work and products enable us to get to know such skilled and creative customers like Sara from The Hope Tree, who uses some of our designer fabrics to make her gorgeous handcrafted items. Take a look at the pictures included below: there you will find a few close views of some of her lovely purses and bags, where the cute fabric lining can be seen. Yay!!

For the outer layer she often uses genuine Merino leather in diverse colors, while the metal frame and fittings in an Antique Brass shade provide a true retro touch to her work. Both her bags and purses, which come in different convenient sizes, are an epitome of the fashionable contemporary vintage look, and they’re handmade in New Zealand! Her creations have it all, including a good dose of the exotic, and the feel of authentic craft work. 🙂

Choosing one of her creations as our favorite is an impossible challenge. Our great favorites may be the purse with seagulls in sailor attire, and the black handbag with flowery lining… but wait, the black purse with lining of black cats on white is just too cute… and her pale brown creased-looking leather bag with scooters is a top design! Which do you like best?

We really love to see the great sewing and crafts projects made with our products. We feel both happy and proud that what we sell can be turned into so many different beautiful things, that will bring joy both to their maker and final user…and now, hopefully, even to our readers! Enjoy, and get inspired!
