PTT Post handbag ~ front
Because I have such a weakness for purses and anything from the Netherlands, I thought I would share these awesome bags with you....
I hope you'll like them as much as I do.... :)
My friend and blog reader Ingrid van Berchum lives in Holland (the Netherlands) and LOVES to make handbags: a girl after my heart!
She was so generous as to share a couple of the purses she has made over the last few months, using PTT Post canvas from the actual mailbags used by the Dutch post office.
