I graduated from fashion design post-secondary school almost two years ago. Since then I have interned and worked with several great designers. Learning new skills from a variety of different people can be inspiring, but also confusing. I found that when I was in school I felt very sure of what role I wanted in the fashion world, but after graduation I realized there was an endless amount of potential careers. Long story short - I have a job I love which utilizes many of the skills I have learned - except sewing. I often make coats for friends, or other clothes for myself to keep up with my sewing ability. Recently I started sewing with leather and silk. I have always loved mixing fabrics and concepts; rough with soft, masculine with feminine, neutrals with extreme brights. That is where the idea of Satchel began. I gathered some fantastically bright, feminine, fun silks along with neutral leathers that truly feel like butter. Here are some pictures of the beginning stages.
