I was playing around on her sewing machine with some scrap fabric she had when I brought up the idea of making a clutch. Originally, I loved oversized bags. At the time, clutches weren't a major accessory. I could think of the kind of clutch I would want to own, but could never actually find one in stores. I wanted a clutch that was unique, large in size and lined with something fun. Statement making to be exact. Well, my grandmother was more than happy to teach me. She even took me to a local fabric store where I picked out some fabrics, printed linings and matching zippers. It took me over 3 hours to make my very first clutch. It was definitely a learning process, but I enjoyed it. A week after learning to sew I opened my Etsy shop with just 3 bags available. Today, I've done over 200 different styles and branched out from clutches into making totes, bucket bags, waist bags, backpacks & accessories. I wanted to create something that everyone could enjoy but couldn't necessarily be found just anywhere. With every piece handmade by me, I believe I have achieved that.
