What a fun find! Lorie English recently posted this on Instagram, you can find her @recreated_now. Lorie makes fabulous upcycled handbags. She uses feed sacks, cargo pants, and colorful fabrics. For this one she found my 70’s Fab Floral in Avocado! How groovy! I love the simplicity, and the clean lines.

Looking through her Etsy site, LoriesBags, I was reminded of a favorite bag I had when I was about nine. It was 1976. The bag was navy blue, with red, white and blue stars on the wide fabric strap. The top flap closed with a metal twist clasp, and had a large “’76” on the front. It was about 8 x 8 inches, and “U” shaped, much like this one. I loved that bag. I’m pretty sure I wore it like a crossbody bag. And I vaguely remember collecting rocks with it that summer.

I love the pockets on the inside!
