Jil Sander introduced a much talked about accessory for the 2012 Fall/Winter collection:
a black leather lunch sack. At Butter we love a good mix of
high and low-brow--but even
I draw the line at a
$630 price tag.
It got me thinking...I could probably whip up my own lunch sack with
an even more glamorous aesthetic:
gold pleather. Read on for a Butter DIY...
I went to a local fabric store and bought a half yard of supple gold pleather and a fairly large gold snap. Everything else (pinking shears, scissors, glue, thread and mini sewing machine) I had around the house.
Step 1. Fold your rich gold pleather with the good sides touching.
Step 2. Sew two sides so that you have an inside-out pouch.
Step 3. Use some pinking shears (aka zig zag scissors) and cut off the top for that 'lunch bag' effect
Step 4. Turn it inside out, add a big gold snap and voila! You have a
glamorous gold lunch sack suitable for carrying essentials for a night out OR a tuna on rye to the office.
