The Fabric

Denim

Denim is my all time favorite medium to work with, I have been making bags with denim since 1999. Go ahead sing the song in your head, I'll wait...yeah you go girl!

Denim's description really embodies the feeling that I want my brand to give you, a brand is nothing without a feeling to give to it's customers.

Denim is durable, rugged, lasts a long time, looks good new and looks good old. Denim goes with everything, when in doubt, Denim.

Patterns and Motifs

Florals are my favorite and something I think most people love, especially women. There is nothing like a vase of freshly picked flowers to brighten up your dinner table. I apply that same thinking to my bags, florals are my favorite thing to draw as well. My new bag collection will feature patterns that I have made myself which makes my bags unique and that is something I hold in high esteem.

Designing the prints for the Bags

Christina watercolors, draws, and creates all her own patterns and designs for her bags. This was something she set out to do in the beginning and has been a hard skill to learn well, but it is maybe her favorite part about the design process.

Designing the prints and putting together the final pieces of the bag designs is so much fun. It's all my favorite things rolled into one. I love prints and patterns, I love designing the bags and creating something completely new and different because it came from me and no one else. That makes it unique.
