Modern Vintage is Our Passion
SylvieBags embodies Sylvie’s finest designs, original mid-century fabrics, hand-made artisanship and Martha’s Vineyard timeless lifestyle.
Sylvie Farrington was born in Germany and trained in a traditional sewing and design program before emigrating to the US as a young adult and founding “ SylvieBags “ in 1997.
Our sustainable accessories are created from up-cycled rare barkcloth and fabrics from the 1930s to the 1960s. Barkcloth is made from densely woven cotton fibers and was often used for upholstery and curtain fabrics. Like tree bark, the material has a rough, nubby texture providing strength and durability. Although it is becoming harder to find, authentic vintage material can be recovered at auctions, store closures, and antique shows.
At SylvieBags, we know how much fun it is to complement your look with a one-of-a-kind handbag made from Vintage Barkcloth. Not only is every Sylviebag unique and beautifully made with a high focus on detail, but also designed to be functional and durable for your everyday lifestyle. By purchasing from SylvieBags, you will receive a high-end piece of vintage fiber art that is hand-crafted and exclusive to you.
