I love what I do ,I try to create something new every day if not the day feels wasted. I am a teenager at heart , I love my Rock and Roll. Trendy, edgy, urban, punk, funky describes the fabrics you will find in my bag designs. I am always on the search for new and fun fabrics . I do my best to stay current with the latest trends. If you find or have fabric you would like to have made into a bag please convo me I would love to make it for you. Most of what you will find in my shop is ready to ship. Custom orders are always welcome.
I take great pride in my work and try to turn out the best quality handmade bag possible. Spot cleaning is best , they may be washed on gentle cycle and dry flat. Iron with care.

Our Review:
I love the Tote I was sent. For those of you who were at BlogPaws you all saw me carrying it the entire time! It is such a sturdy bag that I was able to use it to take m laptop on the plane with me and to all of the sessions during the conference. There are so many pockets to put your things in like keys, phone, your business cards, business cards from the people you meet during the day, a bottle of water, a snack, pens, makeup. There are 4 pockets on the inside of the bag and 4 on the outside all are nice and deep and there is a magnetic snap on the inside of the bag to keep it closed. The straps are long enough to allow your arm to move around but not to have the bag dangling.
I really put the bag to the test at BlogPaws with everything I was carrying around and well I am not the most gentle with my bags in the first place. The tote was more then I could have hoped for and I really love the fabric she uses to create her bags. In fact I love my bag so much I might have to purchase one of her Asian Inspired Totes for myself. They are really reasonably priced. The only thing that would make me love her bags even more is if she made them big enough to be carrying bags for Davinia and Indiana.
