Black Lace Pom Poms


Black lace and black pom poms are joined by light-catching rhinestones and a black silk shoulder strap on this city lights handbag.

Pink Peppermint Zigzag
















The silk flowers seem to pop out of the breezy chintz background of this young-at-heart shoulder bag. The flowers wear rhinestone studs in their petals, and a stone reminiscent of pink peppermint candy adds a third dimension to one of the fabric's own two-dimensional flowers. Green rickrack lends a musical feeling to the party the flowers are having. And the shiny beige silk handles trill visually in accompaniment. This handbag's other side (see photo) is a whole other party, in a sorbet palate. Two looks in one bag. A great way to bring spring with you anytime!

Blue Sky White Clouds

















Polished cotton in a sky blue, pink, white, and leaf green print looks like ice cream, good enough to eat. Three strategically placed silk flowers, almost zen-like in subtlety. A lone coral rhinestone both echoes and enlivens the fabric. Shiny twisted cord handles in a pale peach seem to grow out of the garden that is the fabric. Why not take the garden with you? The other side of this handbag (see photo) is dominated by baby blue with white blobs that remind us of fleecy clouds.

Daisy in Candyland

A large silk daisy perches between pink and aqua rhinestones in the middle of a multicolored pastel checkerboard in this happy shoulder bag topped with frilly lace. Pastel peach twisted cord handles complement the look.

Red Rose and Tassels

















An elegant plaid checkerboard Jacquard in muted coral hues and whites is the setting for a madcap red rhinestone-dotted black tassel trim and two large silk roses. On the flip side (see picture below), individual tassels position themselves like checkers. With the shiny black cord handles, a very sophisticated look.

Plums on Blue Checkerboard


Intensely plum silk flowers perch atop a casually elegant blue-on-blue plaid checkerboard Jacquard fabric. Crystals add flashes of light, and the bag is capped off at the very top with a snappy accordian pleated trim, bordered with tiny pearls.

Plum Swirl

















The deeply resonant color of this shoulder bag's luscious tapestry background is rich as red wine. Mauve and white rhinestones provide dots of luminescence atop the fabric's crosshatched beige leaf patterns; and the wine-colored twisted cord handles glitter silver. Clusters of cranberry-colored silk daisies and eggplant-colored roses add interest and mystery: "Who is this woman, and wherever did she find this handbag?" As a bonus, when turned around (see photo), the back is a grey-green tapestry studded with an occasional crystal.

Blooming Wavy

This designer handbag features rhinestone-studded silk flowers in shades of lavender, plum and yellow on a bed of leaves perched on a stunning cotton floral fabric dotted with rhinestones and other decorative stones.

The top of the bag has a lavender silk trim. Inside, there is a pocket 4 inches long by 6 inches wide, and a magnetic closure. The tote measures 9 1/8 inches tall and 11 inches wide, and is 4 3/8 inches deep. The bone colored silk cord handle measures 16 3/4 inches long, and makes for a very comfortable shoulder bag.

Garden With Pearls

Silk flowers in ivory and golden yellow and their leaves adorn a sheer tawny-hued fabric that has watercolor-style flowers and very subtle cross-hatching. Lace plus upper and lower rows of pearls complete the design.
