Sneak Preview: A New Design and More

This week in the studio was spent drafting new bag designs and revising some older styles. Pictured above is a new design made from Harris Tweed wool in a deep mustard and a golden brown combo. It's approximately 13.5" tall by 10" wide. It has an adjustable strap and looks equally great worn as a shoulder bag or a messenger. I'm really liking this modern yet classic look.

I also worked on revising the Semi-Circle Purse. I wanted to make it roomier and thought of adding darts among other things. I decided against those ideas as they seemed to change the look of the bag too much. I really like this unique shape so all I did was make it a little taller. And now it's a bit roomier but still has it's character shape. I also added an adjustable strap to make it more versatile. That idea was given to me by a very nice customer. And it looks awesome worn cross body!

Pictured above are Harris Tweed Patchwork Satchels that are still in progress. I should have most of these bags in my shop today or tomorrow. Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend. Enjoy!

Everything in my shop is now 20% OFF and includes free shipping!

The Pesky Cat's Day Dream

Katzenhohle by Dornroeschen Filzunikate I recently came across this incredible cat bed made by German artist Dornroeschen Filzunikate. This beautiful piece of functional art called a Katzenhohle , cat cave, is handmade of felted wool. It's definitely the most unique cat bed I have ever seen. It would bring a bit of nature into my urban NYC home. I think my Anni would love a cat cave although her favorite spots right now are the pillow behind my head in bed, a straw basket that was meant to store magazines and a storage box made from fabric that becomes a hammock when she sleeps in it. My sweet Anni FOX 5 Update : A while back I wrote a post about a story that Fox 5 news was doing on Etsy and the handmade market. I was interviewed in my studio as part of the feature. An Etsy press agent recently informed me that the story aired April 15th and he also missed it. He said he is trying to get a copy of it from the studio. I'll be sure to post a link to it when it becomes availab...

Another Studio Location Coming Soon!

P esky Cat Designs will soon have another workshop location. Starting August 1st I'll be working from my studio located in St. Augustine Florida! Those who have been following my blog know that I've made many trips to the area in the past few years. I'm excited with the prospect of being able to work from a new place that will bring me new inspirations and ideas. My studio will be located within close proximity to several craft and green markets. If all goes as planned I hope to be able to sell my handbags at one of these markets as well as continue selling via my Etsy shop. I'll keep you posted with everything. Right now there is a lot of planning going on so I am not able to work on new handbags as much as I want to. As soon as all gets settled expect to see many new creations in the shop!
