I Made A Book Bag!



tee. jam pixy
shorts. lois crayon
tights. tutuanna
scarf belt. thrift store in machida
necklace. betsey johnson (gift)
leather book bag. handmade :)

today i finished making my mini suitcase in leather accessories class~~ it took maybe eight hours to make, each stitch is hand sewn, and i even polished the insides to make it nice and smooth!
i love the color of this leather, i was so lucky to find such a big piece of leather for only 500yen, usually it would cost around 4000 to 6000! i bought the leather in Nippori (aka textile town), but there is also a very good leather shop in Asakusabashi near the JR station

it it just the right size to fit my wallet (fat from all the unnecessary point cards), my ipod, book, cellphone, keys, and still space for snacks ;))

i've also discovered a very neat boutique in the nearby mall, the brand is called Lois Crayon and they sell very unique style clothing, i heard that instead of manufacturing large amounts in overseas factories, they make each individual piece which makes them even more unique!
their brand image is very vintage themed and their one piece dresses are adorable!!
just don't judge them based on their website, the actual store is a million times better!!
