Goossens upcycle bags

28th February 2019

Lots of new designs from Goossens Bags

February has been a month full of new designs and materials for Goossens Bags. There are the new oilcloth bags with two pockets on the outside that are getting a lot of attention in my etsy shop, GoossensBags.etsy.com. Then we have the new fanny packs, great for festivals, dog walking, holidays or just daily use. They are available in the faux leather, you can combine any colour I have in stock. I have always had a deep interest in sustainable living and I’m trying to integrate this even more into my business. The first fanny pack was made out of an old pair of jeans from my little boy with recycled sari fabric for pocket detail and lining. So here was my first upcycled bag ready to be put out to social media and to be added to my collection in my etsy shop. Next step was those old inner tubes from our bikes… I turned them into coin purses and the response on social media has been enormously positive. If you want to know what else is happening please follow me on facebook (Goossens Bags) or on instagram (goossens_bags) and if you want to see the bags please come and visit me at the following events this spring: Keep it local craft show, Spring event at Coolings nurseries TN14 7NN 22nd-24th March 10am-4pm Free entry West Kent Garden & Craft Show 2019, Tonbridge Angels FC TN10 3JF, 11th (9am-5pm)-12th May (10am-4pm), £4 Adults, £2 OAP, Under 16’s free, Ample free parking Cranbrook Farmers market & South East Vegan Events, Stone street, Cranbrook, TN17 3HF, Sat 25th May (9.30am-1pm) (2pm-5.30pm)
