i love the new lease of life you have brought into your bags design it's funky - the small stitched detail is simple and effective and the mobile holder is a top idea

. As a bag lover i'd never throw one away!

Looks great hun, and an excellent idea

Well I think that's brilliant Mrs Crochet. The bag has definitely got a new lease of life with the matching phone holder/purse.

I make a very similar mobile/purse out of fleece fabric. If anybody's like me I tend to dash out with my purse and mobile and car keys, then end up leaving one of them somewhere???

So I find a latch clip attached keeps my keys together as well.

Cheers.
