It’s amazing how one bag can steal a heart! Kathryn from Lincolnshire, UK, recently commissioned this patchwork messenger bag to carry her work laptop and daily essentials. She requested a blue, green, and aqua theme with a subtle splash of gold—and she just let me know that it arrived and is even better than the photos!

​This is just one of many stories I’ve gathered over the years. Each of these bags is crafted from rescued upholstery remnants and authentic, second-hand Bedouin Galabeya dresses; these pieces are all about giving beautiful materials a second life.

I do like to set myself goals; they get me through the day, the week, and the year. That's how I roll, how I survive. One thing that I've been steadily loyal to this year is using what I have and reducing my fabric stash. I'm quite dedicated to the cause!

​I've had some IKEA cushion covers in my cupboard for years. The fabric is super high-quality printed canvas, so I finally decided to use them. Here's the first piece: a cosmetic pouch. It's turned out so nice! Its structure is strong and sturdy, thanks to the quality of the fabric.

​You'll find it in Nour Concept Stores
