Shoulder bag | upcycling | blue | jeans | paper leather bottom | red | gift for her

Handy shoulder bag in lengthwise format, upcycled from a pair of blue children's jeans with red embroidery elements and ornate glitter motifs and studs. No VAT shown on the invoice (§ 19 UStG). The bottom is cut from burgundy paper leather, as is the widened pocket fastener with buckle.
The paper leather is washable at 30° C and behaves like leather. It is initially quite stiff, but becomes softer with every use.
The outside of the back of the bag is sewn onto the back pocket of an adult pair of jeans and has a latch and press stud. This prevents the cell phone from slipping out.
There is also a similar pocket on the inside.
The beige and red checked inner fabric dates back to the 70s and is made of cotton.

The shoulder strap is made entirely of denim and is very long so that you can adjust it to your own length. Simply tie a knot behind the eyelet. Then you can simply cut off the rest of the strap. Two eyelets punched into paper leather are the holders for the shoulder strap, which is knotted behind them so that it cannot slip through.

A wide flap completes the look of the bag with a buckle.
