By upcycling vintage fabrics that don’t have any composition labels and washing instructions I can only rely on my experience an expertise to identify them. Also it is important to know that the fabrics used to create this bag are vintage materials that have existed for many years. A lot of them are also embroiled by hand and not machines so they may have slight imperfections. Telling tales of their past.  

Our bag CULTURE is part of the HERITAGE SERIES (Bag2/8)

I would like to start by talking about this unique fabric.

This fabric is not from Germany like the other fabrics I use.

It is very difficult to set an age for that kind of fabric, but it should be at least  30- 40 years old. According to the seller, this fabric should come from the border region of Vietnam and Laos. Probably they are weavings of the ethnic groups "Thổ" or the "Mường" Tribe. As I am very interested in this, my research is not finished yet.

(And I would be very grateful for any tips or hints).
