These "Mary Poppins Victorian Carpet Bag" inspired weekender bags, with their ornate vintage inspired tapestry fabric designs, were designed and sewn by me, using my 1920s Singer treadle sewing machine, with some elements also hand sewn.

The weekender bag is the perfect size for a weekend getaway or a trip to a quaint bed & breakfast in the countryside, or alternatively, with its water-resistant canvas internal lining and multiple zipper pockets, the bag is ideal for expectant mothers wishing to add a vintage Victorian feel to their practical maternity bag. For craft enthusiasts, the bag doubles as an extra-large knitting, crochet, or sewing project bag, with concealed zipper pockets to keep your supplies organized and secure. And for special occasion gifts, for those who love vintage style, this bag makes a stunning Wedding Anniversary keepsake or Honeymoon travel gift.

Using premium quality Gutermann extra-strong thread and thick upholstery tapestry fabric, this limited edition weekender bag includes:
(a) pleated detailing on both sides,
(b) an internal hinge aluminium tubular carpet bag frame,
(c) brown aged leather-look (pleather) handles (I also made these handles - they are not pre-made/shop bought);
(d) additional removable cross-body strap in the same fabric as the bag (I also made this cross-body strap);
(e) water resistant canvas internal bag lining with additional interfacing (see image bottom right);
(f) a solid base with six antique gold/brass coloured bag feet;
(g) five internal pockets - including two that are zipper pockets with 29-30 cm covered zippers to protect clothes and valuables; and
(h) multiple layers of interfacing, making this bag upright and self supporting. When taking the photos of this handbag, no fillers were used inside the bag to prop it up.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:
Spot clean only.
WARNING: Whilst you may carefully iron the outer and inner shell of the bag on a warm/medium setting (not hot and no steam), please DO NOT iron the pleather bag handles and avoid the heat/steam/water of the iron (even heat from the ironing board) coming in close contact with the pleather handles, as they will burn.
