A subtle demonstration of how you can make a tote bag with a lot of embellishments that’s still practical.

SOLD! Bag Five – Mini Bucket Bag – Zebra Chenille
I really can’t decide if the correct idea is to pet this bucket bag or carry it around. It’s absolutely scrumptious, and checks all the boxes for a “goes with everything” little bag.
SOLD! Bag Five – Mini Bucket Bag – Dark Teal Croc
I even had a hot moment where I dreamt that every mini bucket bag should have an easy drawstring closure AND a thin shoulder strap that detaches!
Bag Six – Parisienne Party Bag
Intriguing shape and lots of custom detailing make the Parisienne Party Bag a drop dead stunner!
Bag Five – The Original Micki
I built Bag Five -the original Micki – as a gift for my BFF. She wanted a bag that was durable, not too big, and with some specific features.
Bag Four – Bowler Style Weekender
Bag Four was a bit more difficult to make; I hadn’t created anything with this kind of structure previously. The main requirement was to be able to sit the bag on the handle of a rollaboard suitcase.
Bag Three – Finding My Own Shapes
Bag Three turned out to be a real stunner – an intriguing set of textures and patterns. It’s a pity that I don’t have more pics of it, but sometimes that’s just the way it works out.
Bag Two – Not the Same At All, Really
Bag Two offered me the opportunity to design a bag completely from scratch. It also taught me I needed to learn more about how to construct a bag properly.
Bag One – Ground Zero, Really
The original prototype bag – this is it.
