Last minute evening bag

charmed Liebling black evening bag
I can finally add a new design to my shop! I have been making a lot of bigger sized bags lately, so right now I feel like going back to smaller items. A few weeks ago while on my trip home to Germany I went to two classical concerts and to the opera and realized, mh, I wasn’t really prepared for this – bagwise. I extra brought some nice pants with me plus I always bring some sort of extra large scarf with me – items you can wear everyday but which can also easily turn an outfit into a nice evening dress. So, no problem so far. The thing was, I only brought my peach hobo with me, which is not exactly what you want to carry when you go to the opera. So what to do? Problems like this are easily solved when you love sewing and there’s a fabric store in the neighborhood!

I bought this really beautiful black/silver fabric and turned it into a nice little evening bag. It closes with a magnetic snap and has a slip pocket as well as a small zip pocket on the inside. To add a little uniqueness to the design I decided to go with a purple zipper! Looks pretty neat, doesn't it? The size is just enough to fit the few items in there you would usually carry with you when you go to a concert (such as wallet, ticket, mints, a handkerchief, maybe some glasses..?).

I was going to go for a clutch first, but decided against it. It would have looked even more sophisticated, I agree. But things that aren’t convenient very easily annoy me and so I decided against it. With the adjustable strap and the pretty buckle it still makes a very posh appearance!
