Customised Topshop Rucksack

As I was browsing the Topshop website a few nights ago I came across a rucksack that I reaaaally liked which made me annoyed as I already have a Topshop rucksack and so buying another one would be stoooopid. I quickly had the idea to customise the bag I already have using inspiration from the one off the website.

I just think the vintage floral pattern and leatherette look so cool along with the zips and chunky stitches.

I found some spare velvet lying around and so decided to tack it to the pockets in a very messy and non-planned way. I was going to use leatherette like the bag from the website but I didn't have enough...

 

I think the deep purple colour of the velvet really stands out against the studs so I'm pretty pleased with what I've done, even if the sewing was very rushed!
