Rings

It is still spring but this bag's colour remind us of autumn. My lovely colours: reddish-brown and black. Handmade emboidery on the cotton cord.
Cord bags are very nice really and I do a lot. This fabric is special and bags look like brand new for a long time.

Summer will be...

Last year I bought these wicker bag handles, but they were of such bad quality that I had to change my idea.
This same shape, two bags. I like crazy summer bags very much. Even in the center of city summer can be nice and full of joy, so bags must be fun too.

Kitty Cat

I have been doing cat motifs for two seasons. I like cats, besides I haven't any, haven't yet...
How does each bag begin? I usually do a sketch. I draw everywhere. Sometimes I find small pictures on stores bills... Very often ideas wait a long time – I have too much and never can guess which is the best! Some of ideas mellow with age...

Light Moods

At last it is spring weather, so it is nicer to work and we need to see light colours and funny projects.

Appliques, my Passion!

By hand and with a sewing machine, this technique has so many possibilities. Imagination is the only limit! We can make really unusual stuffs using small and bigger pieces of very different materials. It is very interesting method, quite like embroidery but a lot faster.
I don't use patterns, if very seldom, so every bag is unique.
In the picture is my personal bag at the moment, which now is over a year old and still looks like brand new.

Silk & Company

If somebody will ask me, 'What is the best fabic for making bags?” I reply, 'Best? I really can't find one! Bags can be done with every fabric! Because there is a way for every one, even "difficult" fabrics.
I like to use materials of the best quality, like silk and cashmere. Silk bags are like poems, but work on them isn't easy. It is a challenge, so it is worth doing!
Today I show another "old" bag from a past collection: silk, velvet and beads. Sweet luxury item.

Bag, Beads, Thread...

I like very much to play with different materials when I make bags. And what is easy to guess, I love to collect materials. I love so much that it is an obsession! I have too much everything!
this is one of my first bags sewn with fabric. It was done by chance because I had a lot of red beads and they were everywhere so it upset me! It was spontaneus idea and I was glad of the result. Besides I hate to embroider with the thinnest needle...

Fabric's Beauty

A lot of my designing starts from the fabric. Yes, first the fabric, then the design of the bags, to match it. Here is strange connection: great goblin fabric with quilted cord. I like to use contrasts very much: luxury and ordinary, shiny and matt...
I don't like pink very much, but this hue is very nice one. Doesn't the bow looks coquettish ?

Retro - 60's 70's

I love the design from this epoque and later, 80's too. I dream to make remake the prints of the most interesting patterns now. Of course not literally the same, but I can design using this style. There are a lot problems with printing, but I'm stubborn and need to see success! The World belongs to stubborn mules!
For now a bag with original fabric. A very big one. This season's bags are very colourful and no need to match bags to clothing! It can be fun, colour game! Enjoy!

Difficult Spring's Begining

Just now we know everything about this season, but I'm thinking about the next... next spring of course! This year's collection, I mean Haute Couture, gave me a lot excitement. My collection is quite nice, and is based on 60's and 70's paterns. I hope to show the 'flower power' style too.
I am thinking to make a small "eco" summer collecion too. It is really the last minute, but my dream is so strong! Polish linen is something very special. I love this fabric very much.

With Bags Throw the World!

The first fabric bag I did for myself, was very special, and of course I have it now! On the street girls asked me where I bought it... and I started to think a bit... but not a lot!
One day I met somebody who told me: make bags! Girls love to have a lot them!
And really, I thought: why not?!
It was begining of serious bags adventure.

Knited Handbags

I like kniting very much, especially something original and difficult, but my first bags were quite simple. Of course I did some inventions making bags nice, light and "stiff" with special kinds of linings. It took a lot of trials and experimentation to invent this, believe me!
This photo shows one of my first bags this kind.

Early Experiments

Next was adventure with selling on the streets. Tourists cites in Poland are full of pupils who must visit, know own country. They aren't bad customers but need cheap stuffs, so... I did a lot small, cheap chrocheted bags. Girls loved this and buy. More complicated were knited bags. I haven't a lot photos from this years, I didn't care about documentation, pity.

A Pinch of History

What happend next? A lot of learning, so much experience and still more: applied art is my destiny.
Long road: tailoring, weaving, knitting, jewelry and so... plus a mule's stubborness to make everything perfect. No end of learning, it is permanent!
Of course I made bags too, but moust for myself and a bit for friends. Girls love bags, but I didn't notice. I didn't think about it really? But one day...
