1. I think the fabrics you use are amazing. I'm a current student at SCAD and I find myself having the same issues sometimes when looking for bags. So glad we can make good that we can make our own lol - Ms Shae from ga, August 02, 2009.
2. Thank you! Nice to hear from fellow SCAD students or Alumni. - Stephanie from OH, August 03, 2009.
 

My Name is Stephanie Kress, and I am located near Akron Ohio. I started sewing and designing as a young adult, I learned this skill from my now Mother-In-Law. My love of sewing and design grew from fine arts and crafts, to designing websites and graphic design, to now designing purses, bags and accessories. I am a graduate of Savannah College of Art and Design. My current designs are inspired by the designs and fabrics that I love, and the functionality that I need. Each bag I create is very well constructed, pleasing to the eye, as well as practical. I hope you love them as much as I do!

I love using home decor heavy weight fabrics for my designs, they are very durable and that is what my customers love about my handbags, they hold up very well.  I have always loved handbags, but sometimes I would go to a store and find the the purse just didn't fit right, the strap was to short or the bag wasn't big enough or was too small. So I just started designing bags that fit my body and my style. My husband and I started talking about selling them and before I knew it, my friends and family started wanted my designs.  My customers can choose the fabrics, hardware and style of bags and it will be unique to them. A one of a kind bag.

So far I have been blessed to not have a big issue YET so this has been one of the best experiences overall because of that.
