While I was whizzing around MADE 09 - the epic craft fair that pitched up in Brighton this weekend - I was briefly diverted from my admiration of exquisite crockery by U Old Bag, a one-woman label specialising in customised vintage luggage. Lisa Tilley takes old suitcases, wallets, purses, mirrors and other bits of bric-a-brac and turns them into instant works of portable art using embroidery and decoupage. The results really speak for themselves:
Each of Lisa's bags is unique and she takes commissions for new projects. To see more examples of her work, check out the gallery on her Facebook page where you'll also find contact information and pricing details.
