ZIPPER POUCHES AND HANDBAGS

"Before becoming a "bag lady," I was a weaver. So I'm drawn to fabrics that have texture, depth, and fine detail."

Why carry an ordinary bag when you can have a work of art?

While working as a film producer and librarian, I also pursued fiber artwork as personal expression in my free time. I acquired my first loom from my cousin, Everett Gilmore, a California loom maker, and started weaving everything from small pillows to large rugs. Along the way, I also explored knitting, crochet, basketry and beadwork, which led me to my latest passion, making bags that match the personality of the wearer.

Using upcycled fabrics, vintage cottons, luxury couture fibers, and graphic textiles, each one-of-a-kind bag is functional, stylish and curated, to make a statement wherever one goes. Carry cell phones, cash, receipts and tickets to the opera!
