Gradient Greys.

Let’s get this party started.

I’d like to introduce the first full new set of new bags. I did a nice little zippered clutch, a classic everyday hobo bag, and a weekender bag! Because, I like HUGE bags. And I have been wanting to do a weekender for a while. It’s finally here!

All the new bags feature a nice soft vinyl, or faux leather base! Great for keeping clean, if you set your bag down on the floor. Because, who doesn’t?

So, these are the 3 basic styles and sizes for the new line. And, I have more designs to come soon!

Check the out in my Etsy shop.

Re-organizing, rethinking, retrying.

I thought I’d check in with an little update on some of the new stuff I have been working on.

 Tuesdays are my day to work on nothing but sewing, and my Etsy shop, my future business, and creating new designs and what not. They are my favorite days!  So, here in this post you get a peek at what last Tuesday looked like for me! I was extremely productive all day, and am really proud of what’s coming out.

I am really excited to get these bags finished, but I have limited time nowadays, since I have taken on quite a few other things. I am working on another great line of bags with an old friend form high school for a really exciting project that should be revealed soon! As well, as starting a part time job. So, I’m still figuring out how to organise my time so that I do maximize sewing and creating new things!

 I’ll be sure to share more, very soon.

All of the STRIPES!

I recently did a bit of treasure hunting and collecting and have compiled a bit of spread of some GORGEOUS and stylish bloggers rockin’ their striped zipper clutches! It’s definitely my most popular bag, and my favorite. It goes with everything! Check out these lovelies and how they have styled theirs…

 I Love Juley’s outfit photos. I feel like I’m looking at my bag in an ACTUAL fashion spread.

Home girl has some serious style.

Such an honor to see these ladies carrying my bag. A couple of my favorite and inspired by bloggers.

I so hope I get to do more posts like this. I Love stumbling upon outfit posts that happen to feature a pretty little bag that I remember putting together. I get all warm and fuzzy.

New Holiday bags are in!

If you didn’t already see them last week, here they are!

I added eight new simple, yet glamorous evening/ cocktail clutches to the shop. I made these for a Holiday shopping boutique I attended a couple weeks ago, and thought I’d offer them up to everyone.

These are a bit smaller that my usual over sized clutches, but I can make them in any size requested. :)

 

The Lacey’s:

 

Lace in Grey, Black, Fuchsia, and Dark Teal. And a mesh lace in Gold!

 

Textured Shimmers:

Tiered Hearts, Grey Scales, and Waves.

 

Check them all out in the Shop. Place your Holiday orders! Drop me a message for custom requests.

Triangles and Stripes.

I Love my stripes. I have never been very adventurous when it comes to style. I Love my basics. But, I always love seeing other people’s fun outfits and I think to myself “dang,  I want to wear that” And I set out to get myself dolled up. I shop as if I wear complex outfits. I have a closet full of skirts, and dresses, and blazers, and blouses, and wedges, and heels. But, when I really get down to it, I usually end up in some pair of jeans ( I do LOVE my denim), a simple tshirt, and some flats. I think the craziest print I go with is stripes!!! Pretty sad, right. I Love fun prints. But, I just find that I default to the most basic of things for whatever reason.

Top: H&M

Clutch: KRUST

I think my designs for the new bag line came from me trying to get some fun designs and prints into my boring outfits. They really spunk up a dull look. But, hopefully I can work them into some more complex looks.  And the challenge begins…

Fall 2011: Geometry.

I am so excited to share my new fall bags with you today!!! I went a different direction this time, and sort of kept with  a theme. I am still using my core fabrics; the Tan, Grey and Black Duck canvas. It’s just a great sturdy fabric. And I LOVE the Tan color it comes in.

Check out the 10 new bags!!!

I knew I wanted to do a chevron stripe for the new fall line. And I had been wanting try to working in some neons and some variation of neons and neutrals together. This was as far as I went and I am so pleased with it. The Tan and pink is my absolute favorite bag. Although I do really love them all!

Get your Chevron cross body bag in the SHOP. Available in Tan/Pink, Grey/Green, or Black/White.

This is one design I came up with one day while doodling and sketching over the summer.
I came across this salmon linen before coming up with the design and when I was sketching, it felt like a no brainer to include it in this new line with the grey, tan and black. I LOVE this salmon color.

Get your Angled clutch in the SHOP. Available in Tan, Grey, Black, or Salmon.

I drew this one up one afternoon while babysitting this summer. I had discovered this teal denim a few months back and used to make a doily clutch with. I KNEW I wanted to use it again and somehow incorporate into the fall line I wanted to do. Once I finished the drawings, I was so excited to get to work on them. These were the first of the fall line that I had started and finished. Seeing them all done really motivated me to get the rest done. I LOVE how they came out.

Get your triangle clutch in the SHOP. Available in Teal, Black, or Tan.

 

Thanks for coming to check out the new bags! Let me know what you think.

I plan to continue to add to this line with other colors and designs throughout the Fall months. So, do stay tuned for more!

A Love letter to Mallory.

The clutch pictured below was a custom request for the lovely Mallory of Mallory Makes Things. I was so honored and excited when Mallory contacted me with a custom bag request and to offer some amazing, and much needed artwork.

While Mallory painted away (and developed this gorgeous fall dress line), I put together this Love letter to send to her.

Dear Mallory,

I am inspired and in awe of your talent and work everyday that I  come across something you’ve done or are working on. I am excited that I could make and send you one of my bags. And I am honored to now have such a beautiful, customized piece of your artwork on my website for all to see. You are one of the sweetest people I have come to know through the blogging and handmade world. Meeting people like you online is one of the reasons I Love having a blog and doing what I get to do everyday. Thank you for everything you do!

xoxo

Love,

Krust.

Peek a boo.

I’m pretty wiped out tonight. So, I am only sharing one quick (revealing) photo of one the new bag designs! I finished these first, and LOVE the way they turned out. This pic was a couple weeks ago, while I started working on the line.

 

Are you at all intrigued? Check back tomorrow for another peek at bags from the new line. All new bags will be available on Thursday September 1st! I am so excited to take real pictures of them all together today. Weeeeeeeeeeeee!
