I am an artist by heart and always loved details and prints. I thought I would love leather handbags that have gorgeous prints with a focus on punk and rustic detail. I believe that is where my line is going now. Leather is my chosen material because of its ease of use. I am inspired by my love of edgy sophistication like Ed Hardy meets Betsy Johnson. I use a lot of studs so my handbags attract a younger crowd.

My line got started when I saw the lack of detail and print in handbags on the market. Also a unique handbag would be quite costly. I wanted to create detail rich affordable bags and with 10 years sewing experience, I had the know-how. My line is the only handbag line that combines two ideals in the design process: minimal hardware with dramatic prints on leather. All the handbags are one of a kind.

I believe my worst design nightmare was when I tried to add outside zippers for the first time on one of our handbags. The zippers would not sit right. My greatest achievement in this process is that I have learned to create my own patterns! It is all worth it to see my ideas come off the paper and take solid form.
