It’s a bit of a mind bender when you think of it: these Altered Handbags by The Other Sister are actually made from patterns for dresses! The effect is quite pleasant, actually–the slightly faded color of the paper, coupled with the 1940s artwork and typography makes for a handbag that will be sure to both elicit nostalgic smiles and turn heads!

On a completely different tack, The Other Sister also makes lovely botanical bags. When I say floral, I *mean* floral–heavily decorated with fabric blooms, petals, leaves and even a stalk-like handle, these bags are perfect for the nature enthusiast!
