Today´s little sewing project:
I brought home some of the big reusable recycling shopping bags from the BHV Le Marais and starting making little pouches out of them. Fiddly job. the material does not sew easy. I´d have loved to buy this kind of pouches from them, but they only seem to sell the big shopping bags in the design, no other merchandise like for example Le Bon Marché does with their iconic escalator print.

Beautiful collection, great variety in colours and sizes.Thanks. Unfortunately I’ve run out of space up the top (unless I start throwing away clothes). I’ve got a few at the bottom of one cupboard but these I use quite frequently. Here is the rest of my collection edited together. It’s the bottom right image that’s below hanging space. It’s modest in comparison to many of you and mostly Mulberry or contemporary. I definitely find it easier to select/switch when I can see them all.

That and the usage spreadsheet with colour representation piechart that I got the idea from this thread. I’m loving seeing that change as I use my bags. It’s fun.
Drooling over all that delicious leather @ whateve!
Great job! You are so creative and talented! These pouches look wonderful.
Thank-you! I´m still working on putting together a good first-aid/ spa kit for my bags. So far I only have Colourlock Leather fresh in black and off white (not tested the latter yet. It´s for the Trailer Trash) , some liquid leather, simple Angelus acrylic paints and Elephant Leather Preserver.
Thank-you! I was about to give up on them. They are made out of double material to have a lining and my little machine wasn´t too happy. I sat over them for ages until my man shouted it was 12 minutes before the grocery store closes... oops... out I rushed.
Your bags are just my cup of tea. I love your choices.Thanks. Unfortunately I’ve run out of space up the top (unless I start throwing away clothes

I´ve had my simple vintage bags out in the open touching each other for a long time without any trouble except for them gathering some dust... they aren´t of any significant monetary value, so I´m not worried at all. Not even the clutches have suffered any colour transfer and they are stacked inside a glass fronted cabinet like multi coloured love letters. I understand the worries about valuable bags, though.
Wow! What a statement bag! I really like it! Thank-you so much for showing!
Thanks @More bags! I find having different sizes of bags in key colours works well for me, selected to carry by the plans for the day ahead. And no repeats - other than my two Lily’s in oak and black which I love!
What great creativity you have! That is so clever!
Love your collection!! Like you, I’m a Mulberry lover.Thanks. Unfortunately I’ve run out of space up the top (unless I start throwing away clothes

Curious, what’s that fuchsia pink in your collection? I have a soft spot for that color.
