Second-hand finds!

To start of making my actual finished products, I needed to source some garments to use as fabric. I really wanted to find a brown leather jacket for my main bag and purses, something with lots of zips and then anything that might provide some inspiration.

This is what I found. I was really pleased to find the brown leather coat above which will provide loads of material for my bags and purses. The top coat also has a lot of zips which will be useful for some new purse ideas. The brown suede coat I thought would look good as a base for a bag in contrast to a bright print. The colour also looks like sand which ties into my theme.
