Why handbags?

katbags are for fabric lovers! The fabrics are beautiful and have a gorgeous hand. I want my senses firing! My bags are the opposite of mass produced bags. The cost is reflective of the quality products put into each bag. My bags are unique and special. Most importantly you will not see my bags coming and going. My purses and totes are to be used everyday whether wearing jeans or are dressed-up. They are made to make a statement that is bold and tasteful. The wristlet, tote and purses are a sensory experience whether being carried on your arm or opening the bag to get your wallet. The bags are substantial yet are designed to feel weightless on your arm.



How it all began...I needed to replace my 'black bag', about 15 years after it should've been retired! Each time I had a special occasion to attend I would go out and look for a replacement. I'd spend money on a bag I hated, sheepishly use it for the event and then throw it in my closet. With each invitation the guilt would return even thinking of going out to look for another bag when I had a closet full of cast-a-ways.


So, I ripped down a fabric bulletin board of my mine, pulled, tucked and pinched it--and-- then decided it needed to be beaded-- and-- then that it needed to be hand sewn to keep its hand-- 14 hrs later I was off to my event. I was asked where I got it, I got some orders, then went to another wedding and more orders and...well, here I am in business, creating bags that I love for day and night, special events, trips to the city and whatever need I have next!


Thank you for reading and visiting this blog. I know that you will enjoy the versatility and beauty of my bags, will be proud to carry it and amazed by the compliments--it's an experience you don't get carrying a designer bag...you will see...

Come back often, I've just purchased my Fall fabrics...but I'm not done with Summer yet!!!
