the broome street clutch has a big sister

i'm sure you are so tired of me posting about new bags, new designs, new colors and all this business.  but i can't help myself, i want to share my happiness in making new things....
the broome street clutch has a big sister now! i think you would love to have a sleek, medium sized hobo that can certainly accompany you during anytime of day while you wear many many different outfits.  it's not too big, not to small, it's got restrained hardware, it's not too flashy, it's got a quiet something going on.  it's in my shop!

after the decision was made....

i decided to order the bronze metallic fabric.  i felt like it was fun neutral, you could wear this color with many many outfits, and even though the bronze made me think of summer, i think you could carry a bronze bag well into the other seasons.
so here is a prototype of my new line of bags and clutches:
the weaved ones!
i love texture, my goal is that my designs reflect my love of texture in many shapes and forms.  i already have a line of pleated bags and clutches in my arsenal so now it's time to add another texture to bungaloe: weaving.  it's a very special, eye catching kind of texture.  i've made it in a random pattern to give weaving my spin, the metallic faux leather helps to enhance the texture.

this bag is a very large hobo, it's super slouchy and shiny.
-approx 18" wide x 13" high
-organic canvas lining
-magnetic snap closure
-2 inner pockets
-made from eco-friendly faux leather: non-pvc and biodegradable

i'm taking orders if anyone is interested!

hessler ave bag revamp






i wanted to make a new design for a bag, plus i also wanted to make my mom a christmas present. when i asked her if she wanted a tote bag she was kinda like 'ehhhh' so i took that as my opportunity to make her something a little less utilitarian. she's had enough of those tote bags she lugs around full of yarn, files, lunch, and who the heck knows what else.
so here it is. the hessler ave bag new and improved and cute as a damn button.
it has my signature scribble stitching, a zipper closure, two inner pockets, it's made with used seatbelts, organic cotton, and bamboo fabric. i better send it out christmas is thursday!
i also got her some hemp face cream from the body shop and my dad some hemp foot cream for his feetsies so they are supple and soft like pillows.
