RED HOT!























One of my first customers has ordered her second purse from me. This time I had to shop for some nice red leather. I feel like I have finally refined this design, now with a super adjustable strap. Think I may need to make myself one of these.

Yee-haw!!

I guess this would be the Albertan coming out in me. I have always been a fan of vintage western, so this is my version of it. I have been saving this belt for a while now, not knowing what I would do with it. My mother gave me all this fringe she found at a thrift store. On my recent trip back to Vancouver my upholstery friend generously gave me a pile of leather, this off white leather was part of that. I'm so in love with this bag, I think I am going to keep it.

Mini Purse






















This has got to be my favorite of all my new designs. I had been saving up these skinny belts, and now I have found the perfect use for them. This bag is made with the softest of upholstery leathers, and is featured at Gentille Alouette, in Vancouver.

Nautical


Is big really better?? This is one of my new designs, LARGE and round.
My kinda beach bag. This is one of the bags that are at Gentille Alouette, a new store in Vancouver.

Big Black Bag


This is the ultimate bag. This time I used a light weight leather, so the bag isn't deadly heavy like the one I made for myself.

EARTH (sporty)


I found this great material at V.V. a few weeks ago, I wasn't sure what I was going to do with it when I found it, but I instantly liked it, it is the same material (but green) as my 1950's couch. Green and brown is one of my favorite color combos. I guess calling this bag Earth would make sense. The leather was salvaged from a upholstery shop.
