Party Progress: Little Ruched Bags

We're in the midst of our Anniversary party preparations. In addition to labeling thousands of postcards, ordering delicious treats from Ballard's Bouteloua Bakery, and receiving goods from our favorite designers, we're sewing up special bags.

Each year we offer our Glam For Good collection. We use our extra-special materials to hand craft one-of-a-kind bags that will make their debut at our party. First up is this batch of ruched bags. These will be wristlets and cross-body pouches, each embellished with a gorgeous hand-picked vintage button.

Now that you've seen our new collection of premium faux leathers, I thought I'd share my first batch of products made with these gorgeous materials. You can see that our popular Sonic Bloom ribbon looks lovely which each of the new colors.

Clara features an exterior rear zipper pocket and a roomy main compartment. Order this Clara here.

Premium Clara wristlet in Vine, Macaroon, Blueberry or Mushroom - $48.

Our Latest Premium Faux Leathers

Fall 2011 Faux Leather Collection, originally uploaded by Laura Bee Seattle.

I'm excited to share our latest materials with you. I've been playing with these for a couple of weeks now, prepping samples and coming up with names. Some of you even helped with naming these via our Facebook page.

These faux leathers are buttery in texture and are softer and more pliable than our regular collection. You can swing by our shop to see them in person, and they can be incorporated into custom design right away.

Over the next week, I'll post pictures of bags made with the new collection here, and I'll also offer some new stuff in our web store. Stay tuned!

Vine is a complex green and brown metallic.
Macaroon is a delicious cream and gold confection.
Blueberry is matte blue with the yummy texture of its namesake.
Mushroom is a matte warm gray.
