Fabrics and trimmings

I recommend opting for woven fabrics (non-stretchy). Choose from cotton, linen, false leather, twill, jacquard, thick canvas with or without patterns, corduroy… the choices are endless to personalize your Banane-Kiwi bumbag. Prefer a thinner fabric for the lining.

If you do as in the exemple you will need:

• 25cm of main fabric
• 25cm of lining
• 1 buckle for a 4cm-wide strap
• 1 flat ring for a 4cm-wide strap
• 1.2m of 4cm-wide strap (if you don’t want to make it from fabric)
• 1 zip of 35cm
