{may i reacquaint you}

May I reintroduce you to this gem in my sewing jewelry box. This little darling is "Shaine", named after my sister, J. :) This tote is one of my most ordered items. It is a wonderful basic tote with lots of personality thanks to the yummy fabrics that I have the pleasure of working with. This bag is great for any of your bag carrying needs. Mine started as a diaper bag and moved onto such jobs as gym bag, market bag, book bag, yoga bag, piano lesson bag, etc. The list goes on and on! The possibilities are endless!

Shaine is about 15" h x 17"w (at the top) and 4 1/2" deep. It is fully interfaced for strength, shape and stability, has two large interior pockets and closes securely with a magnetic snap. I use only designer fabrics in my adult bags and pride myself on using these high quality materials. All my fabrics are prewashed and pressed.

This bag sells for $42, plus shipping. Any changes outside her basic design may result in a slight price increase. Also, I do my best to ship as inexpensively as possible. If available I do use previously used shipping materials to help save the earth of unnecessary waste. However, I will only use materials that are in respectable condition.

These three "Erika" Hipsters took a long trip recently. My friend, J, turned her mom onto my little bag here and she ordered three of them! One for herself and two of her friends for a girl's trip to Thailand. My bags have gone international!

This casual bag is one of my favorite accessories, especially for the summer (which will hopefully come sooner than later here in Montana!). It is such an easy little bag to throw on for just the bare essentials. Mine easily carries my wallet, lip gloss, phone, business cards with room to spare for other small odds and ends.

"Erika" is 8" wide x 10" tall x 2" deep. It has a messenger style strap that is 47 1/2" long. For an extra $4, an adjustable strap can be added so the strap can be adjusted to fit your body or to be used as a purse with a shoulder strap. As described (without the adjustable strap) this bag is $29, plus shipping. Any changes outside of my basic design may result in a slight price increase. Also, I do my best to ship as inexpensively as possible. If available I do use previously used shipping materials to help save the earth of unnecessary waste. However, I will only use materials that are in respectable condition.

Pack your bags girls! We're going to Thailand!

How About a Little Bling?

While making a bag for a friend yesterday I remembered that I was never able to find ribbon to coordinate "perfectly" with this fabric combination. In an effort to add a fun embellishment to the bag I remembered some great vintage pins that I found at a flea market/craft bazaar last year. I just love the uniqueness it adds to the bag. I need to start antiquing and find some more pins. (That will make my husband happy!) What a fun addition to an already fun bag. Just like every girl, every bag needs a little bling!
