All of our behind the scenes videos from today’s photoshoot! Almost 20 new bags, many looks, different locations, various vibes… two peacocks. We slayed.

Talk about a dream team. / brought her eye, her photographer talents, direction, & flexibility lol while .chamerlik & brought their modeling talents & down for anything sweet attitudes to my house for a photo shoot.

Don’t be surprised if I share these videos again but separately! They deserve their spotlights.

I cannot say enough how happy I am to surround myself with creative bad ass gorgeous women. All day we lifted each other up & screamed about how we love being girls. It’s truly amazing what this kind of energy & community does for the soul, we hope you feel it.

I made my long time client Lee this very custom Dylan Duffel.

Two Dylan bags pieced together with a lot a pockets with adjustments to the zippers / fringe trim. It was quite the challenge for me because I had never done a center gusset divider piece.

Without lining, it proved to be a mental game but after careful pattern drafting and construction, I’m very proud of how it turned out!! And Lee loves it!!

I can’t wait to ship it to her but first I had to get a little dolled up and capture it. I handmade it using black bison 3oz for the body, 5oz black bison for the tabs, rose gold python leather fringe and lace x stitching, nickel hardware and studs, and a hand stamped long handle.

🌟 Changes are coming 🌟

DESIGN YOUR OWN orders will open June 1 - June 7 for a July 15 turnaround. DYO will be closed from July - October sooo June is your last chance until the holidays! Can’t believe I’m typing that 😂 .

READY TO SHIP orders will ship until end August, and I will 💯 be doing add ons for those in the workshop. The online shop will close late August / early September until October for my maternity leave.

I am shooting for an RTS drop this month & might try to do another RTS drop in August, who knows, not I! 🤣

My baby shower is early August and my due date lands in September! Time is moving very fast so I’m just mentally preparing us all. ✨🤰🏽✨
