Wedding Purses

I was asked by a friend to make her a purse for a wedding. I also made the bride a purse. Here are the pictures.

Coming Soon

I have been working on a few ideas and coming soon is a basket weave clutch. I love clutches. I think they are classic and amazing. I also have what I like to call the 'S' clutch/tote and a "Paths" bag with interweaving design. Basket weave clutch will be first. Soon.
