How to customize an old raffia bag

I've fond this wandering bag in my grandpa's house some weeks ago. Instantly my brain realized that this find could be a fantastic opportunity for a DIY customized new bag, being the raffia such a huge trend and all...


Right away, I decided to remove the flowers (I kept them for some other idea that may occur me) and, since the handles were a bit ruined, my boyfriend used the pockets from the same skirt he used for my denim belt to cover them. I absolutely loved the result!

And this is the final result!!!
