This mod 1960's era vintage sundress (with too-tight armholes) is being given a new life as linings for our handbags. It's the perfect starting point for a one-of-a-kind bag. 
A Look Back at How We've Been Creating Bags from Vintage Textiles Since 2001
At Crystalyn Kae, we've been creating bags from vintage textiles since 2001. We love the unique character and history that vintage textiles bring to our bags, and we know our customers do too.
In this blog post, we'll take a look back at our history of creating bags from vintage textiles. We'll also share some of the benefits of choosing a vintage textile bag.
Our History of Creating Bags from Vintage Textiles
We founded Crystalyn Kae in 2001 with a mission to create unique and stylish bags that were also environmentally friendly. We quickly discovered that vintage textiles were the perfect way to achieve both of these goals.
Vintage textiles are textiles that are at least 20 years old. They often come from a variety of sources, such as upholstery swatches, estate sales, and occasionally, ebay. We love to give these textiles a new lease on life by turning them into beautiful bags.
The Benefits of Choosing a Vintage Textile Bag
There are many benefits to choosing a vintage textile bag. Here are just a few:
- Uniqueness: Each vintage textile bag is one-of-a-kind. You'll never find another bag exactly like it.
- Sustainability: Vintage textiles are already made, so choosing a vintage textile bag is a great way to reduce your environmental impact.
- Quality: Vintage textiles are often made from high-quality materials that are built to last.
- Style: Vintage textiles can add a touch of unique style to any outfit.
How We Create Our Bags
We start by sourcing vintage textiles from a variety of sources. Once we have a selection of textiles, we carefully wash and iron them. Then, we cut the textiles into the shapes of our bags.
We use a variety of construction techniques to create our bags, depending on the type of textile and the style of the bag. Once the bag is constructed, we add any finishing touches, such as straps, linings, and closures.
Where to Find Our Vintage Textile Bags
Our vintage textile bags are available for purchase on our website and at a variety of retail stores. You can also find us at craft fairs and other events throughout the year.
