Our Very Best: The Silkea Bag

SilkDenim is alive and functioning. While, we have lots of desire but no time to develop a new product line, we continue to sell retail on ETSY and wholesale on FAIRE .

The order today was for Silkea-Minis. This is the very best use, ever, of out leftovers. Being so much fun to make and even more fun to use, I felt compelled to share!

As listed in our store: You know that big blue plastic bag that only the most popular Swedish-furniture-maker could envision? The huge one that people fill with endless stuff? Well, we discovered that that bag could only be improved by a conversion into denim. Hence – the Silkea Bag. It’s our most resourceful use of our denim leftovers in our zero-waste studio. Rough and wild. HUGE. You can keep filling and filling it. Perfect for any form of schlepping. It comes with two kinds of recycled denim straps for over-the-shoulder and hand-carrying. 

12″H X 22″W X 16″D; two 13″ handles and two 27″ handles; 13” hang from shoulder
