About

Hello! I'm Michele, a proud Michigander and lifelong maker. Since I was a preteen, I've enjoyed sewing, knitting, paper crafts, machine embroidery, clothing, and now, handbags and accessories. From paper to leather, my passion lies in creating beautiful and functional items that bring joy to others.

What makes my bags unique is the love and craftsmanship poured into each piece in my cozy studio. I adore color and prefer vibrant linings (I’m not a fan of black-lined bags) and even cover zippers to match! I use high-quality materials, including "vegan" leather, cork, and traditional leather. All my bag straps (except for chains and webbing) are adjustable for shoulder or cross-body wear. Custom projects excite me, so don’t hesitate to reach out with your ideas or specific color requests.

As a mother of three grown sons and a proud grandmother of a blended family of grand-kids, I cherish every moment. My husband and I previously owned a luggage and leather goods store, where we sold many top-brand handbags. I have quite a bit of knowledge about bags!
