The Hunt

The process starts by visiting local second hand stores to rescue discarded bags. I look for unique shapes, durable materials, and items that just need a little love so I can transform those discarded pieces into something beautiful.

The Vision

Once I have the bag in my workspace, the design process begins. I do not plan anything out on paper. I just see things and I can picture what goes on the bag perfectly in my head. I carefully select the perfect colors of thick embroidery thread to match its new personality.

The Revival

This is my absolute favorite part. I hand stitch every single detail. The creative process calms me down and stops the chaos in my head. It is a true labor of love that transforms an ordinary purse into a bold and funky statement piece.
