Currently I am working on my 09 line. I'm really excited about this next line as it has so many fun colors, great shapes and beautiful materials. I'm also planning on designing a new bag every month after I launch a full collection so stay tuned for that. All of my bags are made of leather with top of the line hardware. My bags are made to last a lifetime without rusting or tearing. The leather I use is cowhide which I think is the most durable leather. I keep all those things in mind when I'm designing.

Growing up I had a passion for fashion. In high school I was known for my style so it was only natural for me to be in the fashion industry. Bags in particular were my obsession. I decided to move to New York, take some design classes and start my own line. I wanted to design a line that was fun, functional and beautiful. EWilla was born with all that in mind. Each bag I design is named after people I know and has a lot of my personal style. It is truly a reflection of me.

The only thing that is really frustrating when I'm designing is when someone wants a bag named after them. I get so many calls & emails when I'm in production. It's funny to because some of my friends really go out of their way to do things for me just to have a bag named after them. That makes it special as well since I have always dreamed of having my own line in fashion. I feel like I have worked hard and all my dreams came true. Staying focused & having the right people with me really helped too. Having launched EWilla was the most exciting thing in my life. I plan to continue EWilla for as long as there is fashion.
