This is a new feature on the blog, dealing with the actual designing (like on an indie/handmade scale) of handbags. Hope you enjoy!
Reader, Ellen Hart recently commented about a Versace bag’s strap on the blog,
I love the handle on the purple bag…

Which got me to think more about how such a look could be constructed in a fun way. It’s simply, basically about:
Purse Rings!
One could attach them onto a flat leather strap, or connect them with pieces of leather … think of your own creative methods! If the result doesn’t require the comfort of a hand or shoulder strap, like is say decorative, one could even use “gate” rings (right) that open/close to make a more chain-like - well - chain, on a bag — perhaps like with the Paddington Capsule style.

And if we do inspire you, remember to be a designer, not just a designer-inspired.
