roomy and sturdy tote with 3 large pockets on the front faded denim bottom made from a fabric remnant from a local upholstery shop a really pretty and heavy fabric with faded pink, blue and gray colors the leather straps are hand cut and waxed with beeswax from a beekeeper down the road from my house. i make my own blend of beeswax and plant oils to coat the leather and make it almost waterproof. it will develop a beautiful patina over time. leather logo tag is riveted to the front of the bag straps are secured with rivets and backed with leather washers for extra strength lined in an ivory-colored fabric (also recycled) hidden rare earth magnet closure long straps make it easier to get into the bag when you are wearing it 14" wide, 11" tall, strap drop 12"

I am an industrial designer with a home workshop near Philadelphia, PA. I am a mother of two little boys, and a maker of things whenever I have a free hand.

I work with natural materials to create functional and meaningful pieces that will last a lifetime or longer. I allow the natural materials to "be themselves," or I let their natural characteristics become the character of the finished piece.

My pieces are sold in local boutiques and museum shops, as well as online.
