She Totes!



Recently a customer ordered this bag - our Natalie shape with chestnut microsuede, light blue Naugahyde, and butter yellow lining. The bright floral rectangle hides a roomy exterior zipper pocket. She plans to use the bag to carry her laptop.

One of the best ways to help a customer put together a custom bag order is it have them begin by choosing their focal fabric. Usually this is a patterned fabric that will be the centerpiece of their purse. For this tote, our customer chose the bold, large-scale floral that had many lovely colors.

Next step is to choose the accent fabrics. She chose to emphasize the chestnut brown that is a secondary color on the print. We happened to have a rich suede in this color that added a sophisticated vibe to the print. She chose the ice blue Naugahyde for a light, springy final touch.

There are so many wonderful textiles out there...and so little time. That's why we have great fun seeing what our customers choose, day after day.
