What's in That Bag?




Did you know that the carpet bag was originally made out of Oriental carpets and that is became popular as a sturdy travelling bag during the 19th Century? An alternative name to the carpet bag is tapestry bag. Here is what the lady owning it could hold within.....?

What's in That Bag?

It is once again time for the What's in That Bag? feature. This week I chose a very different bag from what I selected last week, bubbling with colour and so very fun! The focus is on handmade with love. Here is a sneak peek at what's in it.....

What's in That Bag?


Do you ever wonder what other women keep in their bags? Where they got that bag from and how they managed to get their act together, bag and all, so stylishly?
Fairyfiligree just loves bags and like most of you, wears hers to death, especially the ones she loves the most.
Today I am introducing this new feature on bags, all sort of bags.... I'll be picking out an eclectic selection over the weeks, with the most eye-catching, intriguing and curious bags I can find.... and then proceed to stuff them with some exceptional items, things you and I would just love to have in our bag.


I couldn't resist this cute white marble-ised Lucite Purse Box with Diamond Stars , an original vintage collector's item.
Wonder what's inside?

What's in That Bag? will be featured every week. If you would like to propose and vintage, handmade or antique item for inclusion, just contact me on fairyfiligree@gmail.com
