I'm posting this without having done a single internet search Has anyone seen a source for Vespa / scooter fabric? This would be nice. But, I'd also be happy with something in color or home dec weight.

Thanks!

That is the cutest bag and the fabric used is great. Don't know where to find it though.

Cidell, do a search for Kokka fabric, they have a scooter fabric that comes in several colorways. Off the top of my head, some of the shops where I've seen it are Material Girls, Repodepot.com, and Ebay.

Okay, sorry, Kokka wasn't working for me try Etsuko Furuya and Echino. Here is some from Ebay
HTH!

eta..now that I look back at your example, this is the exact same fabric. Beware though, once you start buying these Kokka fabrics you will want more...I know I'm hooked.
So, do tell, what are you going to make?

I think the fabric on the bag is an Echino fabric. They had it (I think in a different color) at Reprodepot at one time, but seem to be out right now.
