| I am a New Yorker by way of California and have always
been a designer, whether or not it was my profession at the time. Emily by
Emily bags have become a staple to so many women (THANK YOU WOMEN!!!) Now
I am maintaining my line, working on new design ideas all the time as well as
expanding into other areas of design. Bags have always been super
important to me, like an old friend. Now that I have been a bag designer
for a few years I know how important bags are to all women.
Most of our ::Emily:: bags are made from very soft supple lamb leather and
some are a distressed version of lamb as well. I am now introducing some
less expensive bags made from a mixture of canvas and leather. I am
inspired by so many things, a great fabric, an old photo, walking in NYC, but
more than anything I find inspiration in my everyday routine of getting ready
for the day. When I get dressed I always think what would be the most
perfect bag for what I am wearing. Sometimes creativity is truly founded
by necessity as that is how I got started.
I attended Parsons in NYC and then I hit the ground running. In 2000, I
started a line of apparel with a great friend of mine, then moved on to a few
other various jobs both fashion and non-fashion related. I realized it was
time to start a line of my own handbags when I couldn't find the right bag to
suit my everyday life. It was then that Emily by Emily (appropriately
named) was born.
Every handbag designer has had an idea that seems so interesting and so
innovative and when it is all sewn up you realize some things are better left in
a sketchbook. Much like my design for a drawstring bucket bag. The
look was so cute and the strap was so pretty...in my mind, that is. When
it was made - it looked like a giant leather DIAPER! (Which I don't think is a
good look for anyone.)
My greatest achievement is the fact that I have created an idea that expanded
into a known and desired line of handbags. One day it just seemed right
and I went for it. And now, we are expanding into commerce on our site, I
have written a book about bags and working on a line of products for infants and
toddlers. To me, risking it all for a dream is a huge accomplishment in
itself.
