We love sturdy well-built vintage.....we don't like cheap crap from WalMart...That's why we have been wearing and providing vintage for so long.....it's made of real ingredients. We have never understood why people buy new crap that falls apart within a few days, a few washings, a few wearings...and cheap furniture...plastic cars.......ugh!
here's what .....thatyountvillegirl...... is up to again....handmade Harris Tweed tote bags are being sewn up right now...and will be listed very soon. Working on new designs that incorporate lace, or corduroy, linen, canvas or leather....
Here's some of our blog posts about Harris Tweed quality...and why we love it so much.......
A few of our past projects.....
I make this under the label thatyountvillegirl......and here is where it starts........I find Harris Tweed jackets, and I cut them apart and add vintage fabrics for the lining, vintage lace, vintage corduroy, recycled leather, recycled buttons....OH YES... This project has all the things I love about living vintage. I take a quality item, I make it into something cute, something useful, something that will make your life a bit more fun! And quality. And local. And small.....it doesn't get much smaller than 2 people running funkomavintage.
The next set of Harris Tweed bags will have differences.....big zippers, buckles, more pockets, different sizes, different looks....
