Custom Wedding Clutch

A customer returned with the following request, could I make a clutch for her wedding? She had an incredible pair of cowboy boots she was going to wear and wondered if I could do something to complement them. The theme of the wedding was The Bluebird of Happiness.
I thought about a couple of options and settled on this, made with salvaged vinyl!

Piano Tuning Lever Bag

One of the great things about having a presence on the World Wide Web is the unexpected requests for products I receive.
This customer has a specialized tool for piano tuning. He wanted a bag in which he could carry the parts of the tool and a way to keep them from clanging together inside. We worked together to design the components of the bag, including a padded internal divider and, just because of it's future value, a zippered side pocket.
It turned out to be a great bag that can be used for many more purposes than just piano tuning tools. Plus any fabric can be used to change the look from manly to girly if required!
It's 14" wide, 5" tall and 7" deep
What was the customer's response upon receiving his bag?

"I got the bag. I'm more than satisfied. It's perfect. Thanks ever so much."

Red, White and Black Skull Spirals Messenger Bag

This fabric seems made for my Zelda Deluxe bags! Perfect!

Introducing The Luna- A Round Bag

Another bag that came from the imagination of my German owl collecting customer. She found this Halloween Owl print, in her favorite colors, orange and blue. The print, she said, called out to be used on a round bag. I got to work on the design and here it is.
It's 15 inches in diameter and 3 1/2 inches deep. On the back is a full panel zippered pocket.
Inside is my Zoe Pocket Set. The strap is adjustable. The idea was to mimic the full moon on the print, so I used piping to keep the shape and also inserted a stiffener in the bottom so that it wouldn't sag when in use. The resulting bag, named The Luna, is quite striking and unusual. I like it! It's perfect for people who like a big bag and want to be noticed as well!

Asian Messenger Bags, Dragon and Koi

Two outstanding prints allowed me to make these two beautiful bags. The dragon actually appears to wrap around the bag, parts of him can be seen on both pockets!
The way the koi meet at one corner really pleases me. The colors are incredible too!

The Pippa Portfolio

THE PIPPA PORTFOLIO

My customers continue to come up with the greatest ideas for products.
The Pippa was inspired by a customer who loved the graphics on some of my fabrics. She had plenty of purses, and zip bags but wondered if I could design a larger zippered bag. She reasoned it would be a showcase for the fabrics that had caught her eye and would be great for carrying magazines while traveling. In fact, The Pippa could be used for many travel related purposes, clothes, magazines, important documents, you name it. It’s also a great gift for just about anyone.
