Around the World in 80 Stamps Vintage Style Bag

http://ny-image1.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.223287117.jpg
The Around the World in 80 Stamps Bag is perfect for anyone that loves a classic design with a twist! Both sides of this beautiful faux leather handbag are decorated with real postage stamps from around the world : Congo, Burundi, India, Sweden, Grenada and Jamaica just to name a few! Each of these vintage stamps have been placed in order to compliment the colour and design of the next one, creating a harmonious and exclusive piece. The stamps have been treated with several coats of special protective varnish, a complicated procedure but very effective : you can take this bag out on a rainy day without having to worry about the stamps peeling off!

Glossy Finish
size: 32x26 cm
strap: 46 cm inside: zipper pocket and open mobile phone pocket
This bag is part of my my newly designed vintage inspired handbags. (construction executed by Queen Bags, Aleppo - many thanks!) I have created a new line of bags that resemble the style of 50's and 60's but with a modern touch for today's needs like an extra pocket for your mobile phone.


The Around the World in 80 Stamps Collection is exclusively made by Yasmin Bochi and has been featured in Craft Magazine vol.02
