Based in the heart of Jane Austen country, just a stone's throw from her home at Chawton, in Hampshire, From Rags To Bags offers a  wide range of handmade handbags and homewares.  All the items are created from clothing, fabric remnants and vintage buttons where possible.   Each handmade handbag, together with much of the homeware is unique, as the materials used are in limited supply.

Buying a From Rags To Bags product helps to recycle unwanted items, in turn, helping the environment.  Charities also benefit, as much of the fabric is sourced direct from charity shops.  A donation of £1.00 will be made from the sale of every Poppies Galore Tote Bag to the charities The Royal British Legion and Help For Heroes.

Also in stock are some great vintage bags, ranging from the 1920's to 1970's, which are all in good, useable condition.  Plus there are shopping bags made from unbleached cotton which are the perfect alternative to a plastic bag.  

I hope you enjoy browsing through the online shop.  New stock is being added all the time, so please bookmark the site for future reference.  If you would like any more photos of any item, please let me know via the contact page.  Why not add yourself to the mailing list to be kept up to date with offers and new products? 

International buyers may prefer to buy items in US dollars or Euros, so please follow the links to my Etsy and Dawanda stores on the Useful Links page.
