Story:

I am a vintage accessories enthusiast and collector, and have always had the desire to have my own brand. Now I do! I have just launched my vintage-inspired day clutch handbag lines, the Sybil Clutch and the Bette Clutch. More fabulous vintage-inspired handbag lines coming soon!

My current lines are made of supple Italian lambskin leather because I want to offer a quality material and craftsmanship for my clients, and I want my handbags to last a long time . My target audience is chic, fashionable women, whether you are 21 or 61! I want women of all ages to appreciate my handbag designs. My continued inspiration comes through many forms: visiting museums, classic movies, even my grandmother's closet! My bags recapture vintage fashion with a modern flair.

Since I love all things vintage, I wanted to recapture the femininity of times past through my handbag designs. In the 1940's and 50's it was an everyday thing for women to dress up even if they were going to the grocery store. I want my handbags to make women feel like they can dress up (or dress down) anywhere, anytime. All of my handbags are Made in the U.S.A. and are limited editions. I only make a specified number of handbags every season. So get them while they're hot!!

While getting started with my designs, I made one on my home sewing machine that looked just awful! It was then I realized that I wanted my brand to be much higher quality. However, my handbags have been an instant hit! I have learned so much about being a businesswoman and a designer, and am grateful for everyone who has helped me along the way.
