“Fleur de Lis Belt Bag”
Background
Part of the Dismantled Designs selection
available at the New
Orleans Craft Mafia, this
one-of-a-kind hands-free bag is made out of recycled denim and
lined with flower-print fabric. The belt bag features one large
interior pocket, snap closures, and a harlequin fleur-de-lis
appliqué. It is 15" x 9".
To purchase this or other items designed
by Mallory, visit either Dismantled’s Etsy Shop or the New
Orleans Craft Mafia.
Mallory is a proud member of the New Orleans Craft Mafia and runs “Miss Malaprop,”
a blog dedicated to showcasing independent artists and
designers, particularly artists local to New Orleans and the
Gulf Coast.
The New
Orleans Craft Mafia was all
set for a splashy launch scheduled for September 2005 —
then Katrina blew threw, scattering members as far afield as
Louisville, KY, and Austin, TX. The Craft
Mafia is regrouping, and
welcomes your business.
A native of Gulfport, Mississippi,
Mallory Whitfield now calls New Orleans home.
Her primary craft is
reconstructed/recycled clothing and accessories.
Mallory, 23 years old, has a B.A. degree
in history from Loyola University. She is fascinated by
clothing and personal style, by the impact clothing and
personal style have on society… and how society
returns the favor. Mallory enjoys dance parties, cowboy boots,
street fashion, random acts of beauty, people-watching, and
sugar-free hazelnut lattés. Fashion inspirations include
Mary Poppins, Katharine Hepburn, Cyndi Lauper, Vivienne
Westwood and drag queens the world over!
