August's Special - 4th part: Sailing Outdoors

Sailing Outdoors

Here's the fourth and last creation for this August's Special *

Holidays are about to finish as summer goes to the end...Need anything to cheer you up? Indulge yourself in a summer fantasy and let you be carried out swinging to an imaginary trip by sea...SAILING OUTDOORS!
This blue, white and red reefer tote has been made in a fine piqué cotton, lined with a white synthetic smooth fabric, and refined at the triangular folded down merges with a white translucent shantung, decorated with solid red cotton ribbons, in a way that immediately recalls those beautiful sailboats, floating in the sea, on a midsummer sunset...
Lantern Bug eyes this time lighted on the shoulder strap, a blue and white cotton drawstring fixed with a "Gassa d'Amante semplice" marine knot!

Let's hoist the sails, let's go SAILING OUTDOORS!

***The name SAILING OUTDOORS is intended to be a homage to the great John Frusciante, his amazing To record Only Water For Ten Days album and all his solo music. I highly recommend you all to listen to his wonderful and extraordinary mind and soul. <3 ***

August's Special - 3rd part: Belly the Whale

Belly the Whale

And here's the marine cr..eature! Belly the Whale, novelty shoulder bag, handy and -most of all- original and one of a kind, just like every single Lantern Bug's creation!

Belly the Whale has been shaped with a blue piqué cotton, to which nylon handmade appliques and a simple hand embroidery have been added ton both sides to figure her cute eyes and her shy smile, respectively. A finishing touch on the outside has been given with the machine embroidered fin draw, while the inside is lined with a smooth fish-like blue lining.

Sling this unique and funny shoulder bag across your body with the light blue splash-shaped adjustable drawstring, unzip her and fill her with your wallet, keys, -why not- your diary, agenda and whatever you like to bring always with you!

August's Special - third part and sea scent

Seaside or countryside?

The typical August dilemma is about to take shape on Lantern Bug's shelves: August's Special moves from the countryside (Aug 6th's Wooden Swirls, Aug 13th's Birdwatcher) to the seaside, bringing you blue tones and -for this third part- a marine craft...! Why marine? Stay tuned and you'll soon know, the third part of this Special will be out in listing in a bunch of hours, on Saturday 20th, 00.00 !

August's special - 1st part: Wooden Swirls

Wooden Swirls - August's Special's first item

As promised, it's saturday and the first part of August's Special marches out: here's Wooden Swirls, the sylvan hand-tote.

Made in a very fine and soft to the touch cotton, the small hand-tote is wavy-shaped to usher your eyes through the serially embroidered floral swirls which in a temperate capriccio tangle themselves to an aery lacteous whimsical space. 

The distinctive two wooden handles are fastened to the tote body with a spicate beige ribbon, stitched with natural earth coloured threads. The practical aspect hasn't been left aside; a discreet velcro strap positioned on the inside cream-coloured lining ensures a safe and practical closure.

Let yourself wear the tangling swirls of a sylvan fancy, make Wooden Swirls yours!
