fancy
anyone who knows me, knows that one thing I am not is a fancy spangly sort of person! I shall now explain this comment!
Last week I went to a lovely wedding party, really lovely, and lovely people too. Now the thing is I do not often go to the sort of occasion where you use little handbags, fancy ones, teeny tiny ones, they are just not me, maybe they could be, but I didn’t have one last week, 98% of the women there did! So I was thinking, maybe this is a market I’m missing because I have no concept of it.
The thing is that so many of the bags I saw, looked expensive, but how often would most people actually use them? So I was thinking that maybe I should look at making more fancy versions of these,
This was one of five I made last summer, and they worked really nicely, so I was thinking if I could use this basic design, and add a magnetic clasp, and use some silk, linen, and nice stuff, it might work, what do you think?
Also I have finished the three ‘mug’ bags, I hope they will be in the shop over the weekend : )

I think that’s a good idea. It’s to branch out and I definitely see a lot of smaller bags around…

It’s true that small bags are around a great deal and I think you could have a lot of interest in them. The larger ones are used just for shopping – although yours are works of art in themselves. I have heard people speaking about the collection of bags that they have – one for each outfit and occasion. Looking forward to seeing your new tiny designs! They are bound to be beautiful as all the others have been.

Personally if i was buying one of your lovely designs i would want a big bag that i could see and use everyday. But i do know people who use small bags regularly Good luck with the decision
