Original one of a kind tie bags

A couple more ties bags completed recently.

The first 3 images are of the nappy bag I made for my sister who's about to give birth to her first child any day now. Nappy bags are made to order only, will have cartoon ties (unless otherwise specified) and retail between $300-$350 as these are larger than the other bags and alot more work and time goes into them. Lining contains pockets to hold bottles and wet wipes etc, these bags can come filled with goodies for baby at an extra cost - please contact me if you are interested in one of these bags tanya@nzartguild.co.nz (please put tie bags in the subject line)

Tie bag for all occasions:
This cute stripey bag is slightly smaller than my other bags in this style

Tie Bag - Brown Stripes
Brown marble lining, hand stitched
Approx 18 x 24 x 6cm (not including handles)
$105

My full supply of bags is available to view on my website www.nzartguild.co.nz/tanyadann

If you are interested in purchasing one please email me tanya@nzartguild.co.nz

I also make to order so if you have something in mind but don't see what you want on the website I'm happy to make something up (subject to availability of ties, costs may vary depending on style, size plus number and cost of ties required) - email me to discuss.
