A handy way to carry your glasses

Beside making bags, I had been working on this little item.
This has been one of my best sellers since I started cartonnage 4~5 years ago.


I call it the "Tear Drop" since it has a shape of tear drop when you look at it from the bottom.
This is a spectacle stand which you can also carry around in your bag!


There is a cotton batting inside to protect the glasses from damage, and since I have put the batting at the bottom as well, that you can throw your glasses in casually and not worry about it getting damaged.



It has a snap button on the flap lid so you can run around in the city withoug worrying about your glasses jumping out of the container.

You fasten this mini leather handle on to the D ring of the Tear Drop, and put it around the handle of your bag. Or you can even put it on your belt if you don't carry a bag.

You can carry it outside like this, or


Carry it inside like this.

The body of this Tear Drop is shaped so that it can be flexible inside the bag, but won't get squashed completely as it is shaped firmly at the bottom.

I have made 5 of them, and 2 are sold as an order.
I have put other 3 onto the Yahoo Japan Auction.

Now, here are the new bags I made recently.

It's a casula bag made with dark brown linen cotton fabric.

One is with an antique feedsack cotton patchworked at the front and at the back.

It has a 16cm zipper pocket at the back, and also has a removable zipper pouch inside.

The second one is very similar, but the patchwork is of the Liberty.
