Carrie's crocheted Dior
Let me tell you, this was truly a joy to behold when I received it in my email in-box...Carrie, a co-conspirator in the Counterfeit Crochet Handbag project, has finished her first lovely, a Dior handbag, complete with embroidered logo, crocheted "buckle" details (!), and much more!
I am in awe--please partake of these photos. And it's not too late to join the Counterfeit Handbag group! If you're into doing trades, I trade Anti-Factory clothing for photos of your handmade designer knock-off bag (you keep your bag, I just get photos!).
Carrie, you ROCK! :D
PS--who else has photos of counterfeit bags in progress! Please email them to me at: stephanie (at) anti-factory.com
check out these buckle details--the skillz, i tell you! the skillz!

omg im not sure why i havent joined in on this yet but as soon as i find a bag to remake ill email you! that dior bag is amazing!
in funny reflexive in the infinate sort of way i went to crossroads on market yesterday and found one of your tops - pink turtleneck grey pebble fabric. are you planting these in the city??? :) im not buying anything new until september, so it was a double redux recycle thing for me!
this is BRILLIANT! oh how I wish I could crochet...
holy. moly! this is amazing. this whole project is amazing! i'm gonna need to learn me some fancy crochet skillz...what an awesome project stephanie!
isn't it just inspiring? i love seeing what's happening with folks' bags. if you 2 ever got to learning how to crochet, i would be thrilled to have you on board--hint hint! ;)
peace out!
oh, jenne, i wish i were "planting" anti-factory (sounds like a good statement like you mentioned). but alas, that top you got was placed by someone else into the stream of re-cycling all over again. ah, the irony!
ps--i wonder if i know you...i visited your blog and realize we may have neighborhoods and perhaps SF friends in common? hmmmmmm....
I have to say that these crochet bags are really great! :)
That is an awesome bag and this is an awesome project! I think I want in.
Can't wait to see the project's progress.
I came upon your website looking for jufran banana sauce, which is my favorite as well. I love your site and hope you enjoyed your Spain trip. (^^)
hmmmmm....i know julia and you know julia, but also you lived next to the danish ladies at the exact same time as i lived at 18th and lexington above/next to the hat shop! maybe we knew each other then??!!! i had a blue bike!! and went to the danish ladies all the time, a little addicted, i. :) I left the neighborhood/city in 1999 -
i now live in a pretty unhip neighborhood - upper market castro. and its beacuse we couldnt afford a place in the mission, things are mass cheaper up here now - how things change!!!!
btw can i still join in the bag making? i found 2 - ones a marc jacobs sling bag and anothers a chloe bag - ill email you the pix. :)
sooo freakin AWESOME! :) cant wait to see more!
