Harris Tweed Bags

Just a few more wee purses using up the Harris Tweed bundles I have, these are small with popper fastenings and braided cotton shoulder straps. A few of these are off on their holidays to Japan. Interesting!!!!
And more of the bigger Harris Tweed Tote or Shopper bags, I am using up all the Harris Tweed in my stash and unfortunately have no more of the sew in labels

And this is the only Harris Tweed long shoulder strap bag I have, I am doing a flea-market on Saturday so will take it along with me I guess
