The blog Craft Passion explains how to sew those macaron coin purses.

In my french retro bag

Do you like dots and retro style ? : welcome in Marie's world , the designer of "Sac chose en son temps".

You will find in her store a range of bags and purses mixing dots and vintage pictures :


 

A walk with Green Gate

Green Gate proposes not only tableware but also accessories. So you'll be able to go for a walk with yours bags, wallets and purses from the new Green Gate spring-summer collection : "wendy pink", in fuchsia pink, dots (of course) and flowers.

And to bring your lunch, at the office or in picnic : nothing beats having a Green Gate lunch box or cooler bag.

I have a new Green Gate shop to show you : Billie Design, selling only Green Gate.

And if you're not trained with dutch, you can visit these online shops :
Originated
Emil und Paula
Camel And Yack
What a lovely shop
Drift living
Little white cottage

Totally retro

Do you know Les Cakes de Bertrand? If you like the retro style, this brand is for you.
No flashy colors but greyish blue and green with evocative names like paynes grey, celadon green or charron blue; with touches of colors like in black and white film colorization.

You, ladies of refined taste, will be interested by the collection mixing dots and elegant women on wallets, purses, bags :

Little dotted fabric baskets

I found those Pakhuis Oost baskets in my town of Toulouse :

If you want to get them online, you can see them in a lovely shop : Nelly Pepper.
I's a shop dedicated to colourful and bright homeware. You will find for exemple very funky tableware like French Bull.

The Pakhuis Oost dot fabric baskets are available in small and medium size. And if you want a pencil case, a purse or a pouch, you can have one with the same fabric :

I don't like dogs

Too bad for you : you would miss the "Laissez Lucie faire" accessories collection :

Certainly, the dots are mixed with dogs but we are not extremists.
And if you really don't like dogs, you can anyway visit their online shop : you will find other patterns, always in their offbeat style, both retro and modern.

Matched outfit for rainy weather

Spring summer collections have arrived in stores but we'll just have a quick look. Rainy weather is still here so let's proudly wear our dotted rain hat and its matched accessories :

You'll find all this at Papa pique et Maman coud : at the beggining, it was a young couple selling its colourful hair barrette on french markets and who is now selling in over 20 stores and on its website.

And you can match your outfit with your daughter's one : your rain hat is available for kids with a fleece lining to protect your kids from cold wind :

So sophisticated

I found this range of polka dot fabric accessories in a french store in Toulouse :

So cute colours and patterns in a japanese style : it's perfect to put all the stuff you lug around in your bag.

It's a french brand called Sophistikate. Catherine, the designer, gets her inspiration from its numerous trips and particularly Japan. The fabrics used come exclusively from Japan and are sewn in little parisian workshops.

You'll find these pouches, purses and passport-holders on line at Sophistikate with the list of retailers.

Wallet, purse or clutch?

I don't know the exact name of this accessory but it is so cute that I want one in my bag. I'll always find something to put inside. This one has a very beautiful shape and there's a great choice of polka dots patterns.
