In my current ’09 line, I am working on  incorporating texture and surface manipulation. I continue to find it amazing how creativity can come from so many little things and I thank my father for my skills as he was a very artistic man himself.   I choose material that feels great and looks great. As a graphic designer by trade I strive to create handbags that reflect and communicate the personality of the woman holding it. My target audience is any woman who appreciates creative style and looks for fresh designs regardless of age. I continuously get inspired by new fabric, fashion design trends, and the women around me. What makes Blue Orchid Bags different? Pride in craftsmanship, and current yet not overly trendy styles - read wearable.

I have been sewing since I was 12 years old. There is something magical about taking a few yards of fabric and creating something wearable. With my love of handbags and my ability to sew it seemed only natural to take my creativity into the direction of designing and sewing handbags. Each Blue Orchid Handbag is designed and handcrafted by me. What you receive is an original, created with passion and great care. I strive to make bags that are wearable with a women’s wardrobe whether it be jeans, a suit, or evening wear.

I am fortunate to have not experienced any design nightmares so far but I am all too aware that anything can happen at any time! Keeping that in mind I am prepared to face each and every challenge that presents itself knowing it will make me a better designer. Of course my greatest achievement is seeing a women carrying one of my bags. Recently I was contacted by a woman who purchased one of my bags; she told me how beautiful she was going to be carrying my bag with her on her wedding day!
