Patchwork Clutch

So we've been experimenting in the Urbanknit studios and this is what we've made recently. It is a patchwork Megasnap clutch which is uses a take on traditional patchwork. There is nothing symmetrical or ordered about this. Still can't decide on how I feel about it. Maybe another attempt is on order to see if it is something I will pursue as a design.

A friend pointed out that you can get two looks in one. One side for a darker moodier look and the other a brighter, redder look.

What do you think?

Etu Mega Snap Clutch

The return of the Mega Snap clutch. Its huge!

This is made out of a handwoven fabric called 'Aso-oke' from Southern Nigeria. This one is now a vintage as this type of aso-oke is no longer made sadly. The type is know as 'Etu' which identifies it as a blue Aso-oke.

It has a lovely interesting texture, which is sort of like soft denim.

Happy browsing.

The Mega Snap...experimenting

Been experimenting with different fabrics for the snap clutch. This one is denim with cut Ankara flowers. The inside is lined with the main Ankara fabric. The clutch also has a metal chain as a strap. Oh yeah, it is also HUGE!
