Crochet colourful boho bag
Crochet colourful boho bag
This one-of-a-kind purse was entirely crocheted by hand using recycled textile tape yarn in the fun shades of sunflower yellow, coral, lilac, and orange.
This purse is made from sustainable upcycled materials. The sunflower yellow straps are made using stretchy recycled jersey yarn, and the body of the purse is made using 100& recycled cotton shoelace yarn.
Lain flat, at its widest it measures 30cm, and is 32cm tall from bottom to top. The purse is crocheted with a rectangular base, and this base measures 29cm by 9cm.
If filled, the purse would have a depth of up to 15cm, a width of 30cm, and a height of 29cm (amenable to stretch, as crocheted fabrics are).
The yellow shoulder strap measures 42cm from end to end. When lain flat and unfilled, the length from the purse strap/ top of shoulder to the bottom of the purse is 48cm. When filled and carried, you can expect the bag to be about 52cm to 55cm depending on how full and heavy the bag is), from the bottom of the purse to the top of the shoulder. In the photos where the bag is carried, the bag contained a phone, a wallet, and 3 notebooks. It looks long in the photo because the contents have been inserted in a "standing" position, but if you were to put a book in the bag such that it would act as a base, the bag would have more of a boho bag structure.
As you can see on the photos, there are "holes" in the pattern of the crocheted fabric, and these are large enough to accommodate a finger. Since this purse comes without a lining, I would recommend keeping smaller valuables (such as lip balm, pens, earrings) in a pouch when using this purse.
While crochet purses have a summer feel about them, I think this bag would be perfect pop of colour therapy in the colder days as we all start to wear dark-coloured coats and boots. You won't even have to worry about matching the colour of your bag to your shoes, since this bag is just screaming: I am a personality of my own! There is only one of this, so don't hesitate.
