Those bags are the brilliant creations of German Brazilian designer Edson Raupp, whose company is based in London.
Red beauty with buttons.
The black and red bag has been cleverly recycled from none other than the parts of a men’s pinstriped suits, complete with labels.
Both bags are featured in the museum shop of the Victoria & Albert museum in London.
This museum shop is one of the greatest museum shops in Europe. From the beautiful to the plain bizarre, there’s practically no better place to browse for presents and other fun items. They have an amazing selection of books as well. Check it out over the weekend, have fun!

Marion, one of my favourite places to visit is the Victoria & Albert Museum (and shop)…and I think the ‘Red beauty with buttons’ has my name on it. I love it x

The labels would have to be my choice, very classy.
While browsing this morning I came across a bag for your laptop which is cushioned and acts as a pillow, it’s called a napbag – you simply put it on your desk and and get your head down!
