THIS VERY SPECIAL BRIDAL CLUTCH was a custom order and has been sold. I would be happy to make one similar to it for you.
It was custom made by me for the mother of the bride to give to her daughter. It was made from the mother's own wedding dress and veil.
The beautiful miraculous medal attached to the inside pocket, belonged to the grandmother who had passed away some years ago. I also used the Grandmother's linen hankie for the bag I made to store the purse in. I also tucked another of her hankies, with blue embroidered cut work, inside the pocket. This was the something blue.
I used crystal beads from a small broken piece of rosary that belonged to the Grandmother for the center of the rosette on the wallet.
The lace covered bow on the bag is removable. I wanted the bride to be able to change the look of the bag so she could use it again for another occasion.
The inside, and the outside of the bag are made from silk I quilted. It has a double flap with a snap closure, and a silk strap that can be tucked inside the bag.
The strap measures 34" long
The clutch is 12"W x 7"H
The Wallet is 5.5" x 5"
This was such a pleasure to work on, and what a wonderful keepsake. If you are interested in a bag similar to this please contact me. I would be happy to make a custom bag for your special day.
