When a life of sewing, fabric collecting and thrift shopping finally come together you get what you see here: a sample of my line of accessories made from recycled elements combined with my favorite fabrics.

I LOVE working with recycled wool sweaters, doilies inspire me and then there are the vintage fabrics and trims that set my heart aflutter. And yes, my friends and I have been known to chat about the virtues of rick rack over a glass of wine on the weekends.


 I feel at my most creative when my sewing room is strewn with fabrics, sweaters, buttons and trims. (And trust me, it usually is!) Textures and colors overlap and before you know it another handbag idea is born.

In June of 2007 I was honored to be a finalist in the Independent Handbag Designer Awards in the "Best Handmade Bag" Category. check out my profie at:http://www.handbagdesigner101.com/designer/144/karen_meyers_meyers_ihda_nominee_best_handmade_handbag_karen
