The Cheltenham Tweed Clutch Bag. Handmade Bespoke British Wool Evening Purse.
This gorgeous Clutch Bag is made from a British Wool Checked Tweed fabric with Brown, Beige and Olive Green Checks and has a very pretty floral lining in coordinating Olive, Cream, Green and Light Yellow colours. A very stylish yet retro bag that brings a very sophisticated country glamour to any outfit. The bag would be perfect for a day at the races, at a polo match or to make a statement at a wedding or an evening out.
The style of the bag is very retro and mid-century Vintage. The purse is surprisingly roomy due to its gusseted shape and can hold all of the essentials. The bag has a beautiful lining and has a 2cm (approx) flat base to give more structure to the bag. The kiss-lock frame is an antique bronze coloured metal.
I use British tweed made from British wool, being a farmer’s daughter, I wanted to support our British Farmers and British Manufacturers wherever I can.
I ensure that all of the linings and pockets are made from contrasting, mix and match, high-quality fabrics e.g. Liberty of London, Rose & Hubble, Viyella, real velvet, etc. I line each bag with felt, so they hold their shape, yet are soft to handle.
Every bag that I make is truly unique in its own right.
The dimensions are as follows (all measurements are approximate),
Height to top of clasp - 16.5 cm (6.5 inches)
Max. width - 25 cm (10 inches)
