A few years back I saw adverts for a handbag where you swapped an outer cover, meaning that you don't empty your bag every time you change handbags to match outfits or occasions. This year I invested in two of them, and now I love them to death!
However, even with all the lovely outer covers (shells) available for them, I was really struggling to find one to match my favourite pair of boots. So I popped onto eBay for some earth magnets, and to my local haberdasher who had a huge bolt of grey microsuede (yay) and some strong thread. Then I cannibalised a flexi-plastic box for some stiffener for the flaps at the top of the shell to support the magnets, et voila!
So next time you need a certain embellishment, or skirt, or lampshade, be inspired by the gap in the market and go for it!
