As long as I can remember, I have enjoyed creating things and changing my ideas into products. I first had an interest in painting and drawing, but after high school that changed to fashion. I graduated from Marymount University with a degree in fashion design. My first bags were created soon after graduation and I got a good response from family and friends.

Most of my inspiration comes from the styles of the forties and fifties. I spend many weekends searching for vintage finds along the country roads of Virginia. I have been fascinated for a while with the pin-up styles of that era and I love the simple sexy details in the clothing and accessories. I try to incorporate this vintage feeling into my whimsical designs and fabric details.

All of the handbags are designed and sewn by me. Being the Virgo perfectionist that I am, all of my bags go through rigorous quality control. I love designing and sewing and I think that this is apparent in the product that you receive. I hope you enjoy carrying the bags as much as I enjoy creating them.
