Vintage hand-painted boot top made into a purse.  Part of my design line since 1995....the handle is also easily removed and can be worn as a necklace.

Coincidentally, I noticed that we have the same avatar, and very similar usernames. If this causes any problem, please let me know, and I will delete. Posted: 2:31 pm on September 30th

I do both a hand-beaded fringe (you can see those on my blog) and a fabric (both vintage & new) fringe. I developed a technique that does not require sewing the leather...I put a wooden gussett in the bottom that is covered in leather, which will give the purse a lot more room. Since I started these back in 1995, a lot of people have been making them...but they sew the bottom together (which makes for a pinch look) and doesn't do well with the fringe.

I am so glad that you liked them!
