textiles

Where fabric, design and decoration meet.
A specialty side project, I must confess to a longstanding love of handbags! My grandmother taught me to sew when I was a child and I’ve been sewing ever since. Mostly one-of-a-kind custom designs, I use a lot of reclaimed fabrics and accessories; discarded design swatches, second hand belts and vintage fabrics. I have also been contracted to design & produce limited edition bags as tour merchandise for local bands; namely the Stars and Arcade Fire. I also created a line of aprons for men and women, because cooking is another love of mine along with keeping tidy! If you are looking for a merchandising idea, a gift for a friend or yourself, ask me about creating something unique. If it’s more than my studio can produce, I know some great local manufacturers too.
