Handcrafted Owl and Antique Books Bag – Gift Idea
CLOSING SALE: UP TO 70% OFF
Due to high demand during our Closing Sale, many items are already almost sold out. As long as you can click “Add to Cart,” the item is still available.
An original quilted bag, created for women who want to combine comfort, colour, and a love for animals.
The owl and antique books design makes this bag instantly recognisable. It is perfect for shopping, visits, work, daily errands, and short trips.
The spacious interior offers room for your wallet, phone, glasses, planner, bottle, small purchases, and everything else you want to keep with you without using a rigid and heavy bag.
I chose this design because animals convey affection and joy, making a useful bag also deeply personal.
My name is Maria, and I have been working with fabrics and details for nearly 50 years. Today, the time has come for me to retire and dedicate more time to my family. This bag belongs to my final collection: once the last pieces are sold out, they will not be restocked.
