tea-cosy-handbags.jpgNow, before the barrage of hate-mail starts, I'll begin by saying I'm aware that 'granny chic' is not to everybody's tastes. But if you love your handmade fare and appreciate a fun idea, these cute bags made from real tea-cosies may just tickle your fancy. It's an idea that's been waiting to happen, but I've not seen it done before now. Don't you think it's genius?

Few of us take the time to brew up real tea these days, so it's good to see these old fashioned cosies being put to good use elsewhere! Each bag is lined with silk, and has a gold-toned chain-link shoulder strap.

The mint green 'Tea' bag speaks for itself, and the ginger cat shaped bag/cosy is just waiting to be snapped up by a truly imaginative dresser, perhaps channelling an Alice in Wonderland look. These would make fabulous presents, and are guaranteed to attract good attention!
