Bagopedia's Comment: Antique textile queen Simone Camille has made a way through the rough economy. The new collection mixes antique carpet, exposed stitch, rough leather, and antique silver buttons. The carpet bag idea isn't new but it is new to reuse existing carpet for bags. The bag itself is modern enough to overcome the antique elements.

Bagopedia loves how Heidi Klum carries this bag:

Bagopedia's Comment: A textile hobo with a big price tag

Even though all pieces are unique and hand-made from antique textiles and clothing, it seems a lot of money to spend for a textile monk bag. Bagopedia loves to see people who have original ideas that turn into a business, but I can't see myself spending $2,200.00 for this bag. Bagopedia is happy to find a similar look for much less money.
