Welcome Friends! I specialize in uniquely embellished Bohemian Gypsy Bags. Each bag is a one-of-a-kind creation handmade with vintage recycled fabrics and other as-found materials. My eco-friendly coats are a patchwork of vintage velvets and recycled fabrics. As you browse, I hope you discover something that embraces and reflects your personal beauty!!
Always Handmade with Love

"Life is the sum of experiences that we encounter as we go through life. Day to day struggles and triumphs are experienced by all of the world's creatures. As human beings, when we encounter a challenge, we have freedom to choose how to react. Every decision that we make leads us down a different road. We will never come to exactly the same crossroads. Every decision that we make has significance. The tiniest choice that we make reverberates throughout the entire universe."

A PERSONAL NOTE: I'd like to thank all my new and repeat customers for your support and appreciation over the years. Your kind words have warmed my heart and given me much inspiration. As some of you may already know, I have two Etsy shops that I have been running for over 10 years. The saying, "time flys by when you're having fun" has been so true for me. But as much as I love creating my embellished bags and clothing, I will have to wind down. Creation of new bags will be slow, but my focus will be on bags only as I slowly phase out my clothing section. Again, thank you for your kind words, Dede :-)

5 out of 5 starsThis is my third bag from GrandmaDede and they never disappoint! Each one has been beautifully crafted, is very well made (I have one bag that is almost ten years old and still looks fabulous!), has lots of pockets, and the colors and detailed embellishments are always stunning. LOVE these bags!!!!

5 out of 5 starsSeriously, when this shop took a break last fall I panicked. I want to stock up so I never run out now. The purse at the bottom I have carried daily for the past 2+ years. It will have to be in shreds before I let it go and move on to the next. For now, the new ones are on display in my bedroom like a work of art cause that's what they are. I love them with all my heart. I wish GrandmaDede was my grandma! 💗

5 out of 5 starsThere is NOTHING on earth better than a GrandmaDede handmade purse!!!!! They are unique, fun, beautiful, and never fail to catch the eyes and comments of EVEN MEN when out and about. They are sturdy and totally gorgeous! This is my second one in 5 years and the first one still looks brand new. Thank you for being there, Dede! Juliana Dyer
