Leather Messenger Bag

I felt so uncreative today so I decided to make a bag for myself--- something that in the past five or so years of making bags has never happened before. I have always loved messenger bags and leather so I decided to make a smaller leather messenger bag. I chose to accent the leather with a violet and brown japanese imported fabric that I have coveted for a long time now. For the straps, I used the japanese imported fabric and lined the back with a tan canvas that didn't have the sides hidden--- it gave the strap a nice frayed look. A very urban and earthy bag.

I love it. So much I might have to makes some for the shop.
Enjoy.

PS) and did we mention custom handbags will be back?!?!

Thank you!

Sometimes I have the guilty pleasure of googling the shop to see what people are saying about us. Its a great way to get insider information on what people think about our products and what we are doing well and not doing so well.

This morning while doing this, I came across a blog talking about our poppy collection.... Apparently, one of our wholesale stores in Chicago, Bess and Loie, was talking up our products! Read what she is saying here....

If your ever in the Windy City, go check out Bess and Loie. Not only does she have our fabulous poppy line, but other great lines too... and she's an independent shop! As always, shop local!!!
