I roughly divide my hip bags into three size categories.

This corresponds to an L

Boho kilim hip bag

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.

- vintage kilim fabric, (probably wool)

- high-quality inner lining, beige cashmere/wool mix

- old brass metal zipper

- matching matal buckle/adjuster (gold)

- Decorated with hand made tassels with gold  beads
