i design, hand cut and sew all the bags and accessories
rosaries, rosary belts and jewelry are made in house
at this time i will no longer welcome custom orders
i am focused on the many variations of the FoldOver Bag and curating Vintage North Beach Leather as well as
other Vintage Leather, Denim and other clothing
it all started with an idea for a rosary belt for myself
after doing accounting for warner bros for 24 years i was feeling a little creative
i thought i'll make a rosary belt like the ones i saw on nuns when i was a child
my uncle lived near a convent and when i would see the nuns i thought they were brides
to my mothers horror, i said "mommy look at the black brides"
obviously i wasn't raised catholic
after visiting a leather warehouse with a friend and buying a couple of pounds of scraps to play with i
started incorporating leather into my jewelry
then i pulled out my home sewing machine and sewed some scraps together to make my first bag
i found what i always wanted to do i just didn't know i could do it
