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 embroidered by hand and not machines so they may have slight imperfections. Telling tales of their past.  

Our bag TRADITION is part of the HERITAGE SERIES (Bag1/8)

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).

This corresponds to an L

Exactly how old this special kilim fabric is can hardly be estimated, but it most likely dates from the 1970s.

Each bag is then individually cut and processed.

In this particular case, a hip bag.
