I'm a big fan of making the disposable undisposable. Like Maison Martin Margiela did with hospital bracelets, plastic and paper bags and wallets that look like paper envelopes. Anve and Jil Sander's followed with leather lunch bags and now Acne brought out a fantastic metallic crinkled leather pouch.
When I saw this cheap, faux metallic leather that looked more like the foil they wrap your take-out dinner in I knew it was time to make some bags. After analyzing a brown paper bag, I copied it on a slightly bigger scale, putting thin seams where the folds should be and finishing off with a zig-zagged cut edge.

this is so great, I will try to do something similar. I just have to find out where to buy faux metallic leather.

These are amazing but where to get the leather?! Where do you find all of your materials for your DIY things, they are amazing.
I absolutely LOVE this idea! You're so creative! You should open a shop or something. And btw, I actually like your design way better than the bag from Acne. xo
Super! Heel gaaf!
Als je er meer maakt, zou ik meer dan graag de zilveren willen kopen hihi. Wauw, wat zijn ze goed gelukt zeg! Ik wil zelf ook nog zo'n paperbag, maar dit noem je pas eens origineel! Petje af weer X

Great DIY idea xx

The bag look super simple and easy to make. My only concern is finding a fabric store that sells faux leather. I would love to attempt at this.
not only have you just stunned me with how professional your diy looks. you've also made me come to the simple conclusion what professionality is: when a great and intelligent idea teams up with proper material and perfect workmanship to become something even greater than the sum of those three.
thank you very much for being so generous to share your genius! reading your blog makes my life richer.
p.s. i imagine the hardest part was to cut the zig zag so neatly? my granny gave me zig zag scissors for fabric some weeks ago and i cut felt with them. it was pretty tiring to achieve the perfect alignment of the little triangles - but what shall a perfectionist do? did you use any tricks on that part? :)
looks awesome :D

oh my god, great minds think alike I did the same exact D.I.Y months ago, but mine was all black!!!

Hey Ivania! :)
I was looking at the winter collection of Zara and I saw a coat that reminded me of you/your blog. I'll post the link here so you can see it. I thought that maybe you'd like it.
Veel succes met je blog!

So awesome! Do you know the brand Antiatoms? They make really awesome "permanent disposable" products such as leather lunch bags and leather paper bags.
Two of my favourites are these:

Your creativity is fueling!
i LOVE it!!! You are so creative! I also make some DIY projects, so I know how hard it can sometimes be ;) congratulations :)
Seriously, you should sell these because I would buy one of each! Do you have an etsy account?
is there any amount of money i could give you in exchange for PLEASE making me one of these?
amazing! ik vraag me af waar jij je stoffen koopt in amsterdam? want als ik op de albert cuyp ben zie ik dit soort dingen echt niet!
Great
Lots of love,

Hi, this looks too good not to try, but I'm new to the Netherlands, and was wondering where you buy your faux leather scraps from. It'd be really great if you could give a few tips. Thanks!
I am a little annoyed that you did not either tell anyone where you got the fabric, tell anyone that you don't want to tell or that you didn't tell us if you plan to sell these and if so, where.
Jeez.
Thanks for taking the time to discuss this, I feel strongly about it and love learning more on this topic. If possible, as you gain expertise, would you mind updating your blog with extra information? It is extremely helpful for me.
