| I am a very passionate and hardworking person. I love
talking and interacting with people, everyday I share a little about my bags to
someone new whether it is with a store or with an individual. My bags can speak
for themselves as far as finding new hands to carry them everyday. When I
realized I had a passion for handbags and a love for designing I had no choice
but to dive headfirst right into it. My first bag was the Saddle Bag in Elk. I
received the Elk hide first hand from the Rocky Mountains of Colorado from my
father who is a hunter. From there the Lifestyle hobo was born and so on.
All the handbags are made of quality Italian Leathers. I use mostly Lamb and
Calf. All the leather is extremely soft and ages extremely well. The bags all
have a Natural Horn Toggle and each bag has a unique lining with an exciting
print and color scheme. It makes opening the bag that much more exciting. The
bags are designed for all ages. My bags have been enjoyed between the ages of 15
to 93. I get my inspiration from my travels and from my Mom. From my travels I
get culture and from my Mom I get good taste with detail and quality.
I pay close attention to detail and quality. All of my bags are handmade in the
U.S.A. I hand pick all my leather and linings. With use each handbag ages
extremely well, the hand becomes softer and the look becomes richer. My bags are
something you want to use as soon as you lay your hands on it, and it is
something you are going to want to use each season again and again.
I have not experienced any nightmare worth remembering but when I do I am sure
it will become a great learning experience. The bigger picture is what
this has done for me. By following my dream and my goal I have made my
handbags possible. With lots of passion, love and dedication to my bags it
becomes more of an achievement everyday. Knowing that I am making a quality
product that people are thoroughly enjoying makes it all worth it and keeps me
going on to future collections. |
