I’ve been going back and forth about this for a while… I’ve decided to step away from making handbags — at least for now. I still love designing and sewing them, but I have more inventory than I can keep holding onto. So — everything currently on my website is now 30% off. These are the last pieces I have on hand. When they’re gone, they’re gone. If you’ve ever had your eye on one, or supported my work over the years, this would mean a lot to me. I will always take a special order, so please reach out if that's something I can help with!

Deliberately Created For You

Bags that carry joy and things!

Hi, I’m Michele — a lifelong maker, mom, and grandmother who believes in creating beauty you can carry. From the time I was a preteen, I’ve been sewing, knitting, and crafting. Over the years, that creative passion has grown into DeliberatelyCreated, my little studio where I design handbags that are as joyful as they are practical.


I’ve always believed that the things we carry every day should make us smile. Too many handbags feel impersonal — mass-produced, plain, and forgettable. I wanted to design bags that blend craftsmanship, function, and personality.
