Based in the heart of Jane Austen country, just a stone's throw from her home at Chawton, in Hampshire, From Rags To Bags offers a wide range of handmade items all created from clothing, fabric remnants, vintage buttons and many other items.  Each handmade bag, together with much of the homeware is unique, as all the materials and accoutrements used are in limited supply.

Buying a bag helps to recycle unwanted items, in turn, helping the environment.  Charities also benefit, as much of the fabric is sourced from charity shops.  A donation of £1.00 will be made from the sale of every Poppies Galore Tote Bag to the charities The Royal British Legion and Help For Heroes.

Also in stock are some great vintage bags, ranging from the 1920's to 1970's.  They are all in excellent condition.  Plus there are some modern bags and tote bags made from unbleached cotton which are ideal for shopping.  

I hope you enjoy browsing through the online shop.  New stock is being added all the time, so please bookmark the site for future reference.  If you would like any more photos of bags, please email your request.  Why not add yourself to the mailing list to be kept up to date with offers and new products?  Just fill in your name and email address on the contact page.
