Fashion is part of my daily routine (and entertainment), including high fashion.

And although I’m not included in the demographic of high-end luxury customers, it is always good to know the gossip around, learn from that info, and perhaps gather some valuable tips and crafts that I can use for my consumption.

Including that night when I was browsing Farfetch, and I stumbled upon this cute Prada teddy bag charm, and as a kidult myself, I want it!

But I am still in my senses and won’t be spending $1,140 for just one bag charm to satisfy my whim. With that price alone, I can buy at least a good-quality 18-karat gold ring, which guarantees its value over time.

During my afternoon walks, I often passed by some random hard waste on the curb side, and there she was, this cute peachy bunny waiting for someone to rescue her.

I took her home, had a good wash, and air-dried. I realized that this is a perfect piece for the bag charm that I want.

Using some beads and sparkles I’ve collected for months, I started glamorizing this cute bunny, making it one of the best-upcycled pieces I've made recently. 




I’m proud to carry it anywhere with me, knowing that I spent zero dollars to achieve a luxury look.

BTW, I also made this red crochet handbag from scratch using my old pajamas (in rayon textile). 

I made a couple of these bags in various colors and added velvety yarn that I bought from a craft store to get a softer feel.
