WILLOW SHOULDER BAGS with SARAH Le BRETON
Create your very own willow shoulder bag. Designed by Sarah so that you can successfully achieve in a day a lovely chic bag that features the stylish diagonal / Irish side weave.
This versatile bag can be finished with a long leather shoulder strap or with two smaller handles made into a perfect sized lunch bag (30cm × 15cm).
Suitable for both adventurous beginners and those with existing willow weaving experience. Also great for basketmakers as an introduction into making willow shoulder bags.
