I was looking for a bold and eye catching design to add to my new cross body bag design, when a pair of hot pink Pop Art lips popped into my head. I think they look great!
 
I have incorporated two card holders into the back of the bag for easy access and an adjustable strap for comfort.
 
The lips are made using my signature leather marquetry technique where each piece of leather is cut by hand and meticulously fitted together using my unique leather marquetry technique but this time padded to give the lips a plump 3D effect, which works well in contrast to the dark navy blue of the bag. To emphasize sustainability, I source recycled black leather from damaged garments that would otherwise have ended up in landfill. Only the finest sections of the leather are chosen and carefully cleaned for repurposing.
 
Once all the leather pieces are assembled, I stitch them together using my trusty companion, 'Gerty', a 1960's Pfaff rolling-foot sewing machine. Finally, I add the finishing touches to bring the piece to life.
