W axed canvas, nautical stripes, natural jute, vintage vegetable ivory buttons, bonded leather and cotton toile are some of the materials that inspired the latest batch of clutches now available in the shop . A pretty wooden sewing box that was a recent gift from dear friends of mine now sits on my work table and inspires me daily.

New Foldover Clutches available in polka dots... linen and cotton floral print... and handwoven ikat. Wishing everyone a relaxing and wonderful weekend!

Corduroy Foldover Clutches are now available in the shop! Perfect for autumn strolls and trips to your favorite cafe.  The Owl Print Wayfarer Purse is back by popular demand. There are two available in the shop at the moment. My studio time has been a bit limited these days but I'm still working on new items and also hope to introduce a new bag design or two very soon. A larger tote design is in production as well. If you are interested in timely shop updates, special offers and more, become a fan on Facebook . Wishing you all a lovely weekend ahead.

The newest design in the shop for Fall 2012 is the Harris Tweed Foldover Clutch. It's available in a variety of check and plain weaves.

New corduroy purses adorned with faux suede handmade bird appliques have just been added to the Pesky Cat Designs shop.                                         Available in slate blue, chocolate brown, red and olive green upholstery corduroy.  Adorned with a lovely engraved wood button and lined in cotton stripes.

Starting from top left: khaki, slate blue, stripe interior, red, tangerine, chocolate brown, olive green, charcoal gray and a floral interior.

If you are interested in a custom order just contact me via the Pesky Cat Designs shop. These purses can be created with or without an applique.
