These aren’t just super funky and fun, they are also very sturdy, practical and of course, like all my bags these are one-of-a-kind!  You will never, ever, meet anyone with the same bag, doesn’t matter which country you live in.  There is only one of each of these. To see more pictures and read all the details go to: my site!





New Shoulder Bags

2 03 2009

I don’t only have new messenger bags, I also have many new shoulder bags to choose from.  I actually uploaded these last thing on Friday evening.  I don’t know if you had a chance to check them out yet. I would love to know what you think of them all.  For example which is your favourite?  Or which colours would you like to see on my site in the future.

Funky New Bags!

24 02 2009

Here are a few more funky bags! I added these to my site yesterday along with some new messenger bags.  It feels great to be sewing and producing again.  I was without a sewing machine for near a month.  I have A LOT to catch up with.  So, I’ll keep this short and get back to sewing, I hope to have many more bags for you tomorrow.  So be sure to come back regularly in the next weeks as each time you are sure to find something new.

So which is your favourite the left or the right hand one? Hard to say…  I like both equally. I just love the grey material with the berries. It’s very funky!  oh, by the way this are on my website already ;-)





New SALE Category

13 01 2009

I’m happy to say that one of the biggest points on my ‘To do’ list I mentioned last week can now be crossed off. :-)  I have created a new category on my Website offering many bags at discounted prices.  The reason why they are on sale is because I have since changed the patterns and these are the last ones left in these styles.

For example the two messenger bags have denim straps rather than black polyester ones, which I think looks better but this means that they are non-adjustable.

Another example are the make up bags.  The two on sale are both sooooo cute but again I now make them differently.  This is your chance to get a one-of-a-kind ALEX original handbag at a cheap, cheap price!  Hopefully you find something you like.

In the SALE you will also find a super nice shoulder bag, a triangular bag and some funky totes or shopping bags. So have fun shopping!

Funky New Bags

19 12 2008

As promised here are a few of the new bags I made this week.

I really couldn’t tell you which is my favourite; they are all so different and unique.

If you had to pick only one, would you be able to? Which would it be?

New Shoulder Bags

29 11 2008

Here are a few of last week’s new production of Shoulder Bags.  As usual I can’t say which is my favourite, each one has a little something, in my opinion at least.

For once I also think that the forest-green one could be for either a man or a woman; what do you think?

What I feel they all have in common is that they are all rather wintry.  The colours aren’t as bright as my usual creations, so they might suit a winter jacket better.

I hope you like my new shoulder bags; I would love to know which you like best or if you have any suggestions for example are there any colours you would like to see.





Custom Made

18 11 2008

Last week I was contacted by a very considerate guy who wanted something special for his girlfriend’s birthday.  (very sweet!)  He asked if I could make a smaller version of my Shoulder Bags in the same tone or style as the brown messenger bag for sale on my website.  He reckoned that she would prefer this shape as it’s original and different, but that she preferred small bags.  I’ve made it smaller before, so that wasn’t an issue. But I didn’t have any more of the brown polka dot material, I did have this pretty flowery one instead, which suits my new brown material better anyways.  So I sent him a picture to see what he thought. When he agreed I started on the bag and sent it off straight away, as yesterday (Monday) was her birthday.

Lucky for her, or rather him ;-)  DPD were very quick as she got her present in time. 

I personally really like the effect of the flowery material on the striped tone on tone one.  I even got a matching brown polyester strap as I thought that it would look better than the standard black one.  What do you think? Do you like it?

I’ve asked them to send me a picture to add to the ‘Happy Customers’ category…   If you’re a happy customer it would be great if you sent me a picture too. 

Or if you would like something custom made, why not contact me?!?





Yet more new bags!

9 10 2008

I think the that my website is really starting to take shape.  About time really, as it went live in August!

This morning I changed the pictures on the ‘home’ page.  It was time for a change I thought. Plus I added yet more new bags.  There are two new Triangular Bags and two new Shoulder Bags.  Which do you like best? I simply can’t decide.  I like them all equally I think.

 

 

The next big change to the site will be adding the German version and maybe eventually the French version.  I tried the google translator as that was the cheap (free) and easy option.  The only problem is that it all sounded rather silly and confusing, it translated the text word for word and that simply doesn’t work.  So I need to figure something else out. The thing is that I don’t want to create too much more work for myself.  I don’t want to have another site where I have to upload everything a second time.  It would be good if they were somewho interlinked, if you know what I mean.

Any ideas?





New Bags

2 10 2008

I’ve just added a few bags to my website, I particularly like the Grey Shoulder Bag. The shape of these is great, the bag hangs really well.  I added the picture of the bags on the mannequin to try to demonstrate this.  It basically molds itself to your body and you don’t feel it anymore. To be totally honest I really like the orange one too… I couldn’t say which is my favourite…  Can you?

I also added some Shopping Bags or Totes to the site. The lilac one is much simpler than my normal bags but I find that a nice change.  The colour is simply superb and it’s also really soft to the touch, which sadly you can’t feel…  you’ll have to believe me.  Plus the lining offers plenty colour :-) The flowery material I used for the right-hand bag has been very popular so far.  I’ve also used it to make a messenger and a triangular one. But that’s the last of it.  There’s no more… So if you’re a fan of it, don’t wait too long.

I’ve also started planning and cutting loads more bags in preparation for Christmas, it’s not too far off now…  I have a lot of work to do!
