5 out of 5 starsFast shipping and great customer service! They’re nicely made and stitching is great! It’s very colorful and the floral designs are really pretty! Great for putting little things,cards and receipts. Now I have these cute wallets to store my cards in! I love it! Thank you Lyn!!!

5 out of 5 starsOmg! Far better than I expected. I am SO in love with my Koi mini wallet. It’s SO unique, a little piece of Art. I need to buy another one.

5 out of 5 starsPouch was much smaller than I thought it would be. I am unable to close together when bank cards are in it. I will figure out a use for it. Love the print!

5 out of 5 starsI love the way it looks, but it's too difficult to get any of my business cards into it. ETA: Lyn was so kind -- she saw my previous review and sent me a whole new card holder in the same fabric that does fit my business cards perfectly.

The first purse I made that started this whole shop
For a simpler life...
I owned a fitness studio and gym in New York City for almost 10 years and my days were full of stress and work. I was always rushing from one thing to the other, often doing 10 things at once and even when I was home, I was working. I forgot to enjoy life and appreciate what I did have.
In 2009, I started sewing as a way to unwind from a long day. It was something I could do for myself and was relaxing, after dealing with people all day. I gave the purses I created as presents, and then people started wanting to buy them, and that's how my etsy store was born.
When I got married, I finally moved out of the city and we now live on a lake. I closed the doors of the gym in the summer of 2013 and started writing a blog to keep my friends posted as to what I was doing "in the country."
My sewing studio faces the lake and although I find myself staring off into the lake more often than is productive, the calming waters have enhanced my creativity. I design and create all purses in my store myself and take pride in my creations. I'm always working on a new design and can't wait to share it with you.
I've since turned those blog posts into a book, and my debut will be coming out on July 6, 2021 from Berkley/Penguin Random House. Subscribe to my newsletter on my website: www.lynliaobutler.com to find out about the book! If you subscribe, you will get a free card holder from what is currently available in my shop. Convo me when you have signed up with which card holder you would like and your address and I'll send it to you.
Thank you for stopping by!
