Hi everyone, I’m back with #2 of my Gift bag Series.

This Drawstring style bag is inspired by a Cartier version from the 1930’s! Of course mine isn’t made of Antelope skin and gilded eighteen-karat gold like that one, but I think it still looks lovely.

 I made 2 styles and give you the measurements to the smaller version below.

                 

I love the accordion sides on these bags.

And although they are gathered at the top, they are surprisingly spacious inside.

The tassels and eyelet hardware finish the bag off perfectly.
