5 out of 5 starsThis bag is perfect 👌 I love the inside pockets & the long straps so I can use it as a crossbody. You are truly the Queen of soft leathers. No one can match you for customer service & the thoughtful gifts you include. Thanks Mary

Here's my desk with a handbag in progress.

My cutting table ... I use scissors and occasionally a leather worker's knife.

Hanging bags and the bins that I pack them in when I'm doing shows.

I hang leather skins to keep them from getting fold creases.
Smart, Stylish & Handcrafted Leather Handbags & Accessories
I've been designing since I was old enough to hold a crayon, a needle and thread or a pair of scissors. Growing up, my father was my inspiration. He made designing interiors look like fun and brought out a passion in me that evolved into a multifaceted career.
I've had no formal training but that has never stopped me from pursuing the intricacies of design in all forms. Handbags came into the picture when I couldn't find one that was simple, lightweight and not huge.
Today, I love the zen-like focus it takes to create a handbag or wallet. I'm fascinated by how a simple skin of leather can be transformed into a functional and beautiful product.
Inspiration often comes from the shape of an object or the smooth feel of a piece of leather. Occasionally, I'll create a handbag in a dream state and attempt to sketch it when I awaken. My sketches are pathetic. I'm much more a hands-on doer.
I believe that your handbag should be as unique as you are. My Los Angeles home-studio is smoke-free and pet-free. I welcome visitors.

My career as a Production Designer led me down many creative paths and taught me that there is no limit to the definition of design. I love creating, whether it is a handbag, a movie set or a piece of furniture.
