Bag to deconstruct

[Ellabella]

I occasionally have been give or have bought, bags to deconstruct to save the hardware.

Today I have been given a Versace handbag and am beyond excited. The quality of the hardware is superb, even the Chicago screws have Versace embossed into them.

I’m going to unstitch as much as possible so I can repurpose things like the internal pockets and the straps.

I will use the metal logo discreetly, but as the bag will be for me or my DD, I don’t see it being a problem. I’m unlikely to be accused of forgery.

The leather is so soft and supple I want to reuse as much as I can.

I’m assuming the bag is not worth saving?
I’d expect the hardware to be top notch.   Look forward to seeing what you create from it.

Wow, how come you got your hands on a Versace bag? That seems a wonderful opportunity.  Looking forward to seeing what you do.
