The Change Purses Are Here!

I have some new bags that I made these past couple days. Two of them being NEW designs. I have crafted a little change purse by request from a friend. They are very cute and easy to stick in a small purse. I have decided to work with some bright coloured leather for these ones. Let me know what you think! I just added them to my Etsy shop www.satchelbag.etsy.com.

This is the Mini Rectangle Bag in a Cream and Brown lambskin. The inside is a Meadow Green. This Green is spectacular..if you like Green you will LOVE this colour. I only have a little bit of it left...

Dace

I love this time of year in Vancouver. It has not started raining too much yet and the leaves are all changing. The weather is perfect for my favorite pieces-hats, scarfs, wool coats, boots and lots of layering. Dace is one of my favorite local designers and whenever I see her new collections I always feel like she is designing for me specifically (or at least for a Vancouver girl). Her raincoats are amazing and classic. I interned for Dace when I first graduated from design school and it was such an amazing experience seeing how such a small group of women can create such a successful business. Check out her site at http://www.dace.ca/.

New Bags

Here are some new bags that I just posted in my shop. www.satchelbag.etsy.com.

A Bag For A Friend

I have been very busy the past couple of weeks. Between work, sewing, life, puppy and visitors it has been pretty hectic! I was lucky to see one of my good friends this weekend who is from out of town and she wanted a custom bag. I think it is a beautiful colour combination. It is also the first bag I made with a handle (which I have been meaning to do). The bag is made of a cream and navy lambskin with a vibrant orange silk dupioni lining. If you are interested in a custom bag let me know! Otherwise check out what is already available at

www.satchelbag.etsy.com. More to come!

Promo Time!

Back to school time. I have decided to do a back to school promotion. Starting today Tuesday September 8th until Tuesday September 15th I will be offering a 20% discount on ALL ITEMS in my Etsy shop if you mention this post. If you are looking for a particular bag with certain colours let me know! If it is not in the shop right now I can make it for you! The discount will still carry over as long as you pay before the 15th. www.satchelbag.etsy.com. The rectangle bag makes a wonderful pencil case and can be ordered with a wrist strap for an extra $5.00.

Ps. Here is a new rectangle bag I just finished. It is lined with the most beautiful raspberry pink. This is the last bit of lining I have so this will be the last bag with this colour.
