Have You Met Amelie?

New In Shop: Amelie Vintage Wine Leather Wristlet
This newly-added wristlet was inspired by the contours and stitching on some vintage purses I've seen and loved over time; the color of leather and hardware alone are reminiscent of vintage Etienne Aigner purses that were the rage when I was growing up.

Amelie features a buttery, lightly distressed leather, antique brass hardware, and copious amounts of top-stitching...my favorite part of the process!  I love making this style, as it can be effectively reincarnated just with the change of color and different vintage button accents.

Antique Brass Hardware, a vintage button, and lots of top-stitching


I'll be bringing some of these bags to my shows.  What color is your favorite bag, and what color will you be wearing on your arm this spring?  Do you prefer classic colors for your everyday bags, or do you follow the current trend?  I'd love to hear about it!

  3. wooo! gorgeous, scrumptious leather!

    I vacillate between classic and bright and vibrant. That plum color perfectly bridges the gap between the two.
