Romantic White Embroidered Doily Bag, Upcycled Vintage Lace Flower Bag, Handmade Summer Handbag
A romantic and feminine handmade bag created from a beautiful vintage white embroidered Greek doily, carefully transformed into a unique summer handbag.
The original textile features delicate white-on-white machine embroidery, creating an elegant and timeless monochromatic look. At the center of the bag, a beautiful cutwork detail resembles fine lace or tulle, decorated with delicate floral appliqués that add texture and a romantic touch.
The edges of the original doily are finished with a distinctive decorative pattern of embroidered triangular points, creating a beautiful scalloped effect around the bottom and sides of the bag.
I carefully repurposed the vintage textile, cutting and sewing it into the front and back of the bag while preserving its original embroidered details and decorative edges.
The bag is completed with round acrylic handles with a natural bamboo-look finish, which beautifully contrast with the delicate white embroidery and give the bag a relaxed yet elegant summer character.
The bag has no inner lining, allowing the beautiful embroidered textile and its original decorative details to remain the star of the design.

♻️ A vintage textile with a new life
In Greece, small decorative embroidered table textiles such as this one are traditionally known as “semedakia” (σεμεδάκια). I love giving these beautiful vintage pieces a new purpose instead of allowing them to remain forgotten in a drawer.
There is only one exactly like this — once it is gone, it cannot be reproduced in exactly the same way.
