Cheryl used a solid dark denim fabric so it would be nice and durable and to make the redlining and piping trim really pop in contrast.
And so what did she end up with? The answer, a bag that’s cute, functional and super strong. She says by trying different handles, shaped snaps and color combinations the same bag design can have loads of other looks too.
