Upcycled Bags 1

This post is about the bags made from old chudithar tops. I have used the tops for so many years. So i upcycled them into bags, which I use at home.

'Upcycle' is a term, first coined by German Engineer Reiner Pilz in the year 1994. 

It is a process where a material or a product is reused to create a new product of higher value than the original one. Also the used material regains it's originality. 

Ref : Upcycling - Wikipedia 

Now, let us see some of the bags,



For the above bag, I used 2 chudithar tops. Outside fabric is from an embroidered black chudithar. Inside I used another rose colour tops. You can also see an open pocket made with the same rose colour fabric.


This bag fabric is from another chudithar tops. My dad bought this from Kolkata, when he was working there. It is fully embroidered. 

For the inner fabric, I used the remaining cloth of the above black embroidery top. I stitched an open pocket with the outer fabric. I liked these chudithars very much, so I am happy that I am using the same, as bags. Bye.
