Repurposed vintage books fashioned into one-of-a kind purses.
These beautiful books were originally designed to stay around for a very long time. There was no television or radio when many of these beauties were produced. However, time and technology have taken their toll. I find the books before they are tossed away, recycled or simply forgotten.
You can still read your purse! Your truly one of a kind vintage book purse comes complete with the original book pages rebound as a paperback unless it is missing pages.
Each purse is individually created with the integrity of the vintage book in mind. All book spines have been triple-reinforced with Lineco® Book Repair archival linen tape and padded for longevity. Leather has been waterproofed, fabric has been treated with Scotchgard® and paper litho boards have been coated to prevent water damage. All book covers have been edged with upholstery lip cord from the Fabric Mill in New York and matching fabric cording for shoulder straps, which is my signature design statement.
