Crocheted Recycled Grocery Bag Purses

Due to popular demand, I'm listing my Mom's amazing crocheted purses here with their dimensions. If you're interested in purchasing any of them, please contact me and I'll list them in my Etsy shop (OR you can contact my Mom directly - for those who know my Mom :-). Most, if not all, of the purse linings are vintage and I believe some are even silk (If you'd like to know, contact me and I'll ask my Mom which is which! :-). You can click on any of the photos below for a larger view.

8 Pocket Crocheted Recycled Grocery Bag with Leopard Print handles: This one measures approximately 15 1/2" x 9" and 3" width. It has a total of 8 pockets inside to keep everything organized PLUS it zips shut! Not sure where my Mom got all these beautiful colored grocery sacks but some even look pearlescent and I love how she used black plastic to accent the stitches within the body and also along the top of the purse - which also picks up on the colors of the purse handles. The inside lining is a mustardy-yellow print with dots and stripes (resembles a safari print shirt ;)!







The next one below is white with little specks of blue and a little red here and there. It measures approx. 13 1/4 (w) x 7 1/2 (l) and a base thickness of 4". The purse handles are extra long: about 8" long loops. The edge of the purse is scalloped crocheted. This purse also features 8 pockets and lined with a beautiful light green and torquoise paisley patterned brocade style print. Also has a zipper to zip it shut.







The next one below is smaller than the others but just as functional featuring 4 pockets on the inside and zips shut to keep things from falling out. It measures approx. 12 (w)" x 8"(l) and base width of 3 1/4" inches. Double click on the purse picture so you can see the intricate crocheting details here. I love the alternating white and toffee brown colors! The inside lining is a silky peacock print patterned fabric.







This last one is probably my favorite and a perfect purse for Fall season! Double click on the photo to see all the details - the colors are toffee brown with dark green and burgundy stripes. The pattern my Mom added here almost look like little shells! Not sure where she found this beautiful colored plastic bag but she sure did a beautiful job incorporating the colors and creating a pleasing pattern. This one measures approx. 13" (w) x 8 1/2" (l) and a base width of 4 1/4". It has 6 large pockets and also zips shut. The lining fabric is very thick (think durability!) and also patterned. The purse handles in this one are the longest, measuring approx. 9 1/2" long (am thinking that this would work well carrying it over my shoulder even with a thick coat!).







I'll move these over to my Etsy shop eventually but if you're interested in purchasing now, please contact me! Think great Christmas or Holiday gifts! And what a message you'll be giving to the rest of the world by buying a recycled grocery sack purse! BTW, one is already listed at my shop (a white one with a little pocket on the outside.
