So here are a few new bags I’ve been working on this summer.  I got my hands on some really beautiful “Toasted Croco” leather and I paired it with a creamy eggshell leather for a summery look and my favorite chocolate brown for a more fall feel.

Both the purses have interior and exterior pockets, are fully lined, and have zippered closures across the top and a zippered ooutside pocket.

 

Then I wanted to improve on my cross-body design, so here’s what I came up with.

Sure, I

went a

little

fringe crazy

I purchased a roll of turquoise/brown floral embossed leather that I just fell in love with, and paired it with the chocolate brown. I added a flat double-stitched adjustable strap. I did another one with the Toasted Croco and eggshell. It’s shown with the silver chain handle, and also comes with the flat adjustable stap. Then I got a little funky with my hair-on and chocolate. I adapted a “vintage” leather belt as the handle and added fringe across the front. I made a few tassels and added them to add a little interest and finished them with a Mexican flat braid detail.

These are the back sides.
