Pleated Shoulder Bag With Bands

I'm on a roll. Remember this bag I made last week? I made another one but this time I added a band above the pleats using my never ending multi colour fabric for my "Pleated Bags With Bands" collection? :D


My husband says the fabric looks so good I can't make anything ugly with it.


I wonder if it's even noticeable? I sewed the handles at an angle instead of the conventional straight grain to give it a sassiness.


Bands and pleats go so well together. I even put pleats in the side gusset.


A peek inside.

This bag will be on sale at the Red Dot Design Museum in Singapore from 5th to 6th September 2009.
