When I was researching permission to use our stencil of The Queen onto hand painted bags I read that use of her image had to cease in October. I may have got that wrong but erring on the side of caution I aim to l stop painting our Vintage Queen bags at the end of this month. So, if you would like one for yourself or a gift order them now. You can order from our Folksy shop, through this blog or from the For Queen and Corgi Facebook page. Each bag is painted and stencilled to order therefore you will get something that looks like the ones in the photographs...but it will not actually be the same one. Many of our customers display the bags rather fill them with stuff but if you want to put them to work they are very hardwearing and wash well, mine has been through the wringer several times and is now incredibly soft.
Prices for the limited edition, Vintage Queen bags are £31.00 or £45.00 if you would like it embellished with a dozen Swarovski crystals. The other Jubilee inspired designs cost £28.00 for the queen in profile and £26.00 for the crown design, they are also made to order so colours can be requested.
It's your last chance to bag one!
Helen.
PS. If you would like to learn how to stencil fabric we are running a stencil class this October.
Not having got myself organised to really do some jubilee celebrating I think I should take stock and have some Queen regalia to decorate the new mansion so would like a cushion cover rather than a bag. Is such a wild request possible?? Or should I buy a bag and take the scissors and the sewing machine to it??

Such as wild request is indeed possible. Actually the collection started with cushion cover and bag kits but the ready made bags were so popular we just stayed with the one product. So we can stencil a canvas cover with The Queen on or send us a suitable one of yours.
Don't cut the stencilled bag, you are paying for the quality of construction as well as the artwork. However if they do eventually wear out that may be a good way of recycling.
