| 1. | Sharon has made me several bags and I love every one. They are nothing like the same old bags you see on everyone else. She creates each one, all herself with a lot of inspiration and drive from her beautiful son Charles. Order one today! (or 2!) - Susan from MA, December 21, 2009. |

| Well as for me about me my handbag ideas came from
caring for my son Charles who battled Medulloblastoma-pediatric brain cancer for
4.5 years and at the age of 14 he lost his battle this November 22. I found
sewing as an outlet to help me deal with stress, and the last time I sewed was
the 8th grade.. I love being creative.
As for my line I am always expanding it and thinking up new designs, this spring
I am looking to a bit more edgy. I use a solid nickel plated hardware of the the
highest quality as well as top notch fabric's and suede and leather. All
handbags are are double sewn with stabilizer and pellon medium. weight sewn
interfacing. I think the the thought that I put into how the bag looks and what
hardware best represents the bag...and sometimes I buy hardware and that is the
inspiration of the bag. What I want people to know about my line is that
you can design your own bag everything from hardware to fabric and handbag
closures. You can buy my designs as well.
My nightmare story is the Piccadilly bag that bag no matter what I did that bags
was not coming out right. I put it all together and it still did not look right,
so I took it all apart and redid it, this bag took forever...My greatest
achievement that I have accomplished is that my son Charles showed me I have a
gift that I did not know I had and one that I love, and how proud I feel that
when I see someone with my bag or when I send a bag that the bags I design have
a piece of me and Charles in them and that I am able to donate to cancer
research for a cure. I take pride in each of my bags and all my bags are
garmented for the life of the bag. Each bag is signed and numbered by me..
