Description

The only thing better than a Sallyann Marie Backpack or a Sallyann Neckband, is a Sallyann Marie Backpack Handbag AND a Sallyann Neckband!  All in my beautiful Red Burren fabric!

This is a great backpack, designed to carry comfortably everything you might throw in it .  It is lightweight, yet strong, sturdy and long lasting, like all my handbags.

It can happily accommodate a novel, MacBook or other 13″ laptop, lunchbox, baby stuff, holiday bits and pieces and all your bits in the main body of the backpack. The main section has a patch pocket and a key clip inside too. For a small extra charge, you can add in a zip pocket into the inside of the backpack too.

The outside is made from my own rainproof fabric and printed with gorgeous Red Burren fabric.  The outside front has a recycled jeans pocket sewn on to it, which is very handy for car park tickets, sunglasses or just to look rather beautiful. If you would prefer to omit the front denim pocket, just let me know when you order. I can add in an extra patch pocket on the inside instead if you would like.

The back of the backpack has a clever zip pocket sewn into it, for security, so that you can keep valuables in this if you’re worried that someone might dip into the main body of your backpack, which is often a concern for backpack owners.

The straps are 2.5cm wide and made from dark navy webbing which will be comfortable to wear and wide enough to spread the weight of whatever it is you are carrying.  There is a small loop at the top of the bag to lift it up like a handbag when required.

The bag is lined with recycled jeans, meaning that every bag is unique, because it is impossible for me to cut more than one Marie Medium Backpack from a pair of jeans, and for that added touch of individuality, the recycled pocket on the front is always a one off.

Internal measurements of the base are 25cm x 9cm, and is 32cm in height internally.  External measurements are 26cm x 10cm, height 35cm.  All measurements are approximate, given that each bag is individually made and variations naturally occur.

My Sallyann Neckbands are made from supersoft polyester stretch jersey, so they are comfortable to wear and warm and gentle on the skin.  Sallyann Neckbands can be worn all year round as a snood, headband, hairband, hat and more.  They can be used as a face covering for when you are on a bike or motorbike to keep your neck warm and to stop the flies going into your teeth too! They are just perfect when you are out for a walk (with or without a dog) and you want to keep your neck warm but not boiling.

I make these neckbands in my studio in West Clare, and the unique prints are my own flower designs, based on the wildflowers that grow all around my home. The fabric is printed on one side, with a white reverse.

The soft fabric they are made from is polyester mixed with a little elastane for gentle stretch. It is a great fabric – easily washed at 30°C and they dry within minutes.

For hygiene reasons, Sallyann Neckbands cannot be returned unless they’re faulty.

Do remember that each of my bags is a unique piece of work, so it will not be exactly the same as the one shown in the photographs.
