McBee Bags & Accessories
McBee Bags & Accessories
Based in Catford, I am a textile designer/maker with a particular fondness for vintage fabrics. Although I do occasionally use contemporary designs, I really enjoy seeking out interesting older fabrics. For example, discarded curtains can be re-worked into something both unique and useful; giving them a new lease of life and reducing waste. I look for vintage prints which are typical of their era, from the 50's to the 80's; they are beautiful in themselves but they also evoke nostalgia and unlock memories.
Each piece in my collection is handmade by me and includes bags of all shapes and sizes, purses, hats, hairbands and aprons. I also welcome commissions and would be very pleased to discuss ideas with you, either using a fabric of mine or something of yours that has special meaning and memories.
