I never cease to admire the Bedouin embroidery, and I actually do not understand how these dresses end up at the flea market. Each time I can buy one makes for a happy day. I wash them and take them apart, and while doing so I think of the women who created them.
The sewing of the dress itself is usually very dilettant, but the embroidery is almost always exquisite. I strive to turn the embroidered pieces I gain from the dresses into something equally beautiful to give them a new, long lasting life. These bags are large and roomy. They have a big zippered pocket with a pretty zipper pull on the back. A pocket, also embellished with embroidery is inside, together with a key swivel, which is so practical. The nice handles are PU leather. The bags close with a magnetic snap.

Oh yes, the Bedouin embroidery is beautiful, and those bags, fabulous Yael.

PS Thanks for the comment on my blog!
They really are so beautiful, and the woman who chooses one is choosing exquisite craftwomanship as well!
Hi,again
Those bags are wonderful,and I imagine those detailed embroidery must have been hard work! Happy day to you!
Dear Yael - Bedouin embroideries were given another life. I think even inanimate things have a life of their own infused by hands of elaborately work. Each and every bag is so lovely, but my favorite is the last one.
