I always fancied doing something useful with the ribbons kicking around in various drawers. I also quite liked the look of the Marwari bag, less so the price tag.

Here's the crafty pauper's H bag, Sac Bolduc (or BV meets H!).

Thanks for letting me share. :)

OMG - that is incredible! You need to try that with leather...
 
Bienchen OMG!! It's fabulous!!
:ps::ps::ps:

This is the coolest thing ever!! Amazing Bienchen.

Thank you ladies :D and you make me blush.
Wore it proudly today and loved the feel/weight (double layer of bolduc plus fabric lining) and drape across the body
 
It took ages and literally a mile of ribbon, in fact I still have not fully lined the strap as I have run out of ribbon. You need twice the amount laid out to coverv all sides of the bag as you are weaving the ribbons.

Isn't that a great excuse to buy more H items, Bienchen. :graucho:
"Yeah, honey. I needed this ribbon so bought a Birkin.:heart:"

OMG (not a very original comment I know!) Bienchen, that is just fabulous.

I'm sure have a ton of ribbon by now (quiet, mezzo!) but I am not sure I have enough for that....but I wonder if I could cheat and use orange or brown grosgrain as well?

Need to try this immediately! (running off to find scissors...)

CBM, your talent never fails to amaze me. That Lindy is the cutest thing ever! I love it almost as much as my actual Lindy. And the Kelly is adorable, but of course my heart belongs to the precious felted raisin Kelly you made me. That's the best mini mini Kelly of all time.
