Reworking an old model

I needed a new bag for the fall. I’ve always liked a bag we’ve had kicking around but I wanted it a bit bigger to hold my computer and, well, it just needed some tweaking to be exactly what I wanted. I’m not really adept at making patterns for new designs but I did want to try to alter an existing one. This is the result. Pretty damn pleased, if I do say so myself! Now that’s three bags in my collection in this fantastic equestrian-style plaid! And a computer sleeve. A girl likes to match her accessories sometimes…

Trick or treat tote

Not just for Halloween, though!

Colours!

Leaves are falling outside and we’re busy working on a spring line with one of our clients. Oh, how I love the bright colour combinations of the leather and lining with the added pop of a contrast stitch. Everyone has a black bag–why not be different?

Giving thanks with a trip away this year?

Are you lucky enough to be celebrating Thanksgiving with a weekend trip away? And are you lucky enough to have such a snazzy, spacious bag to carry all your essentials? If not, perhaps it’s time to do something about that.

Looking for a good home

Remember back when I took you through all the steps needed to make my new bag for summer? Well, I absolutely love my shopper in cork with red veg-tanned leather trim. It turns out, others did too! We’ve made several, in many different combinations. However, we still have the original cork and red combination. Interested? Be sure to “like” us on Facebook to find out how you can make it yours!

The debate in the factory

We’ve had many opinions expressed in the factory over the colour of this item. The leather warehouse has named it “coral”; the consensus here was it was more like salmon. Regardless, we agreed it was a pretty colour for summer! (It has a surprise inside too: bright, lime green lining!)

If you aren’t fond of colours, look away (if you can!)
