I found this beautiful knit Peruvian Connection halter top for a steal at a resale shop. This company is known for their amazingly beautiful knit garments. Since wearing this size small garment was out of the question, I decided to upcycle it into a tote bag. I was able to keep the entire garment intact by seaming the bottom and boxing the corners. Then I made a bag lining of black denim and extended pieces at the front and back of the garment to back the upper parts of the halter, stitching the garment to these pieces. I added some 1” black cotton webbing for handles. The halter ties are a perfect compliment at the top of the handles.
