Sweetgum Handbags

So, lately I have been more and more drawn to different sewing projects and am trying to save up to hopefully get a sewing machine and start some of my own projects that I have had on my mind for a while. I found {Sweetgum Handbags} and was inspired by the style and was drawn to them because of the amazing attention to detail and craft. I loved the handbags, pouches, and felt iPod cases. Kim, a grad student in her twenties, is studying ecology by day and sews all hours of the night! She learned to sew from her mother and from then on it was all about trial and error. Her designs are both functional as well as beautiful to look at.

Freddy&Ma Custom Handbags

Custom designed purses are one of the many ways a bride can customize and maintain the theme/colors of a wedding (with a purse for herself or for her bridesmaids). {Freddy&Ma} offers the service of customizing purses by color matching, 25 hues of Italian leather or 48 shades of rich satin fabric, custom fabrics, and custom linings! They even suggest a unique idea for a purse party, where guests get to design their own! They offer a variety of purse styles and sizes. Aside from the custom designed purses, they have a variety of already designed ones to choose from. Not only do they offer the customization of purses, but pillows and melamine plates as well! What an awesome way to brighten up a living room or kitchen and have it be exactly what you want without having to go on an endless search for the perfect plate or pillow.

Orla Kiely Designs

I came across this {designer}, Orla Kiely, this morning and was really drawn to the style. Then I realized this was a really recognizable pattern I had seen before on notebooks and other products. Her colors, patterns, and textures all work well together to create designs for her complete women's clothing line, accessories, housewares, and travel. She has developed a signature style over the past decade and is dedicated to the practicality of her designs while maintaining the quality. She started this business with her studio and flagship store being in London, but products are sold in outlets around the world.
