I thought some of you may be interested in the evolution of my carpet bags...
This is an old pic of a carpet bag that I made several years ago. There is an hand sewn vinyl strap attached, which is obsolete now (I now send fabric straps out with the bags). Sometimes the fabric matches the body of the bag and sometimes it matches the top trim (casing).
But the reason I am showing the pic to you is because I have found more of this fabric! ...only enough for 2 bags... "Night Grapes" is a special fabric as you can see. When I sold out of this carpet bag a few years ago, there were some sad people.
This recent fabric find (and probably others later on)will not get added to my website...with 118 fabrics already being offered, top priority for me now is shipping out Christmas orders. If your heart falls for this bag, the price is $300.00. Just email your shipping info to metinnc@gmail.com . I hope to keep one for myself this time but if I have to, I will be a good loser.

Carpet Bags, Mary Poppins Bags, they have had many names throughout history but the look is unmistakeable! I fell in love with these bags years ago, and in 1999 perfected it's updated look and function. With a positive reaction to my high quality fabrics and finishings I began to produce these bags for sale. I never dreamed my engineering degree would lead me into the carpet bag business but here it is 11 years later and I still love it!
