We Love Russian Dolls!

A couple of posts ago, we featured some of the commissioned bags we made.  Remember this?
 
Well, the response to these bags was most enthusiastic and people started asking for the bags.  Now, you must remember that the bags were commissioned pieces, which meant that the fabric was supplied by the customer.  But this kind customer was kind enough to share with us the supplier of the fabric.  And so, HSH climbed mountains and crossed seas to import these rather expensive fabric for you.
  
So, now we can show you these...
And we didn't just stop at making the bags.  We also made these...
Don't you think these bag tags are the cutest?  We're going to make more from each and every doll on the fabric.  And wait, we've got more of such fabric in different colours.  Let's see what else we can make with them.  Oooh!  This is so exciting and fun!

Another customer also passed us Russian Doll fabric.  But this time it is very different.  We made a Petit Bucket bag with her fabric.  We certainly hope she likes it!
Ya, I agree, it looks entirely different from the Petit Bucket bags you've seen so far.  This is certainly more hip and therefore suited for the young at heart.  I think it would look great with jeans.  Anyway, let's have a look at the Russian dolls on this fabric.
Ain't they cute?  Do you think they will start yet another fabric trend?

Anyway, since there's so much interest in the Russian dolls, I decided to do a little research (by that, I mean I just googled lah) and was disappointed that there was no romantic story behind these dolls.  Found out that they were just some dolls which the Russians copied from the Japanese, and the dolla won some toy contest.  An interesting fact is that the dolls can be of either gender and the smallest one is usually a baby. 

The Russian doll bags (which fits a laptop nicely) retail at S$32 and the bag tags at S$5.
