I love my bag, I do. I know that it is not very modest of me to say, but I do think that this bag is exceptional. Yup.

The bag is made of new fabric, three vintage men’s neckties, re-claimed black velvet, and a bit of ribbon for the detail work. There is cell phone pocket on the front for easy access, and two (more secure) pockets on the inside for the wallet and keys (my personal preferences).

One of the things that I like so much about this bag is that it is a perfect example of tweaking an item into a more usable piece. Take a look at the pictures and pay special attention to the pleated grey tie. This vintage tie is an amazing piece of apparel, but it is so unwearable. By rethinking concepts, such as usage and structure, this great piece can now be enjoyed and appreciated on a daily basis both visually and functionally.
