Dooney Inspired bag - PATTERN ON BLOG

[MsSunflwr]

It's been a while since I've posted or crocheted for that matter. I've started working on another stained glass window (for myself) and finished up this bag that I was inspired to create after seeing a Dooney & Burke bag in the March 2007 issue of W magazine. I may even use it tomorrow. It's made from two strands of thin chenille, two different shades of brown, two different chenille types/textures, but the same weight. One strand looks and feels like suede, so the bag is sturdy, soft and has an appearance of being leather-like. I'm sure what I think of the strap, so please give me your opinion. I may need to take a better photo of it.

That bag is absolutely FABULOUS!! It's hard to see the strap in the picture, but it looks lovely to me. I'm with eebrs re: the pattern!! : )

I love it! did you do it in one main piece with a gusset? You did a wonderful version of the purse and I also think it looks better than the dand b bag!

I agree with iluvrerun (and everyone that has responded) - your bag is gorgeous! And it looks like it would feel yummy too ()!

 

And do you have a pattern for us! Please....

[JesseCat]

Really beautiful, is it lined....What brand of yarns is the chenille...I guess it is something better quality than Lion Brand cuz their chenille is so so? You did a great job of seeing a purse and being able to copy it....You should write the pattern for posterity....
