A happy customer in Sweden with her shoulder bag in Ikea fabric

This is wonderful! Fans of Ikea furniture will know they also make fabrics, and are a Swedish company.
I had this great Ikea fabric that seemed perfect for a Tilly shoulder bag. Gunnel, who lives in Sweden, bought the bag. So my bag, made with Swedish Ikea fabric, has a new home in Sweden.
The lovely Gunnel was kind enough to send me this fantastic photograph of herself and her new bag.
I am so happy! Thank you Gunnel.

Cute, unusual, and pretty pen and pencil cases

The Scribe is my pen and pencil case. A simple zippered bag that is quite popular. It can be used for many other things besides pencils.  Its long, slim shape can accommodate all kinds of things that you might need to carry in your purse!
The variety of prints I use means they are a great gift idea too. 
Here's a selection

Beautiful custom made Japanese messenger bag



What a beautiful custom ordered bag this was. It's a Panther Deluxe made with the Heron Garden print. This is the largest messenger bag I make and many people order them to use as diaper bags, or school bags.

Horses, drawstring bags, and you!

I wanted to share this awesome horse print with you today. I have quite a few horse fabrics, some of which you can see here

This is a Suebee drawstring bag. These simple bags are very popular with my customers. They use them for everything from knitting bags to storage in the bathroom, carrying golf balls and going out for the evening!


They are perfect gifts, and work great as reusable wrapping too!
Of course, if you would like something custom made with a horse fabric, I am happy to do that.  Contact me anytime!

Border Collie bags!



I love this fabric! Our first dog was a border collie mix. He was the animal that made us so crazy about dogs. This fabric has a great selection of border collie faces on it, and makes the best bags for border collie lovers.

I always have Scooter zip bags and Raven coin purses in stock. It also makes a great wallet on a string as you can see in this picture of a happy recipient of a Christmas gift, made just for her

Custom bag and customer service feedback!

I am delighted to share with you an awesome photograph of one of my customers, and her kind words about the bag I made for her.



"Dear Karen,

Well, it's been six months so I guess I'm recovered from my vacation! Truly sorry about how long this review took. What prompted me was that an administrative assistant at my doctor's office asked me "Where did you get that great bag?" and then asked me to email her your info. (Which I did before sending this!)

Below is a picture of me and Big John, one of the trail horses I ride, and my lovely new bag. While I treasure the bag for its beauty, quality and serious bang-for-your-buck, the experience working with you was equally delightful. You turned the process of getting a custom bag into a collaborative creative adventure. I'd say "Could the bag have interior pockets?" You'd say "Sure! how big?" I'd say, "Could it be similar to a bag I already have?" You'd say, "Sure! Just send me pictures of your old bag with measurements." I am now forever spoiled by your "Sure!"

Thank you so very much for such a delightful bag.

Sincerely,

Laura "

Happy New Year and many thanks!

I am officially back to work today, after a wonderful, and lengthy, break for Christmas and New Years.
2011 proved to be my best year yet. Thanks to all my fantastic customers. Many are new, and are taking a chance on buying from some woman in Colorado who makes nice bags, LOL! But to those who return to buy over and over again through the years I have sold my bags on line, it's because of you that I am successful. Your trust in me mean so much. I am humbled by the kind comments I receive, not only about the quality of my products, but the customer service I provide as well. Those comments, and the photographs you send, help new customers feel comfortable buying my bags, and asking for a custom order. I can't tell you how many people comment on how helpful the photographs are, as they try to decide which bag to order.
So thanks to you all, and here's to an amazing 2012 for all of us!
