Wristlet Subscription: Spring Green

Spring has come late to Seattle, but all of the extra rain has yielded lush greenery. The assorted shades of green on these subscription wristlets are inspired by the mix of new and old plant growth observed on a walk around my neighborhood.

I used our Mojito premium faux leather to make the small purses. The material is so soft and supple that I chose to highlight its texture with some zig zag stitching and vintage buttons.

Wristlet Subscription: Winter Red

Last month I sent out these red-themed wristlets to the women who subscribed to this program. They feature vintage glass buttons with a linear plaid detail.

The red and black tweed is from a vintage skirt that I cut up after saving it for a couple of years, waiting for the perfect project.

I topped off each purse with a narrow black ruffle ribbon and a red silk panel.

Wristlet Subscription #4

When I was packing up this round of subscription wristlets I noticed that they coordinated nicely with the packing envelopes. The color theme for fall was brown.

I paired chocolate microsuede with a high-end decorator fabric that has yellow tones. I topped off the wristlets with buttons that remind me of butterscotch candies. (I've noticed that I pretty much always use food words to name colors, but that's another story.)

Wristlet Subscription #1

I love to sort through buttons, and to imagine what their previous lives have been like. Did this one close white coat? A gingham blouse? A child’s dress? How did these buttons end up in a this little jar in this very shop?

For this, my first wristlet subscription design, I’ve selected two juicy red buttons to adorn each new purse. To create the blossoms, I stacked each button on cream felt and used my scallop shears to create petals. I stitched stems and leaves from ribbon and bits of faux suede.

Remember Fruit of the Month Club?

My sweet mother found a lovely jar of these buttons in a little antique shop in Rochester, NY. They are all red vintage plastic, but no two are exactly alike. I've decided to use them as the vintage embellishment on the debut wristlet in my new subscription program.

I've been mulling over this idea for a little while. The concept is simple: subscribe, and receive a new, extra special wristlet in the mail four times per year. I'll base each wristlet around a vintage material or embellishment, making the design exclusively for subscribers.

I think this would be a fun gift to give for the holidays. I know I would love to receive a gift every few months throughout the year. Let me know what you think if this idea. I'm thinking of adding an earring and belt subscription too.
