mix and match set with sea green and fig

I recently finished and sent off this order of a mixture of crescent clutches with ruffles and scallop clutches with blossoms.  The accents used were sea green and fig paired with a shimmery silver dupioni silk.  Each clutch had the girls monogram, a unique message from the bride and the wedding date inside and was lined in a fun black and white retro-inspired cotton print.

Perfectly Pleated Clutches

You might remember when I introduced this design, I did a giveaway to the person who came up with the best name and that name was Perfectly Pleated!  Well, this is an order I just finished up a little while ago with each purse in the Perfectly Pleated design.  One perfectly pleated clutch completely done in ivory for the bride with a "something blue" lining and the rest for the bridesmaids in silver, with sea green silver and ivory accents.

Mix and Match Bridesmaid gifts

I've been offering my fold over clutches now for about  three quarters of a year.  Just recently I've decided to make it a bit easier for people to customize their own orders.  There are three different clutch designs: the scallop clutch, the crescent clutch and the newest design: the envelope clutch.  There are also three different brooches which can be made in an accent color and added to each clutch.  The idea is that a customer can mix and match any clutch design with any brooch, making each purse unique for the person it is intended for.   

If you stick with one accent color then there are 9 unique possibilities!  If you add a second accent color, then technically there are 18 different possibilities, and so fourth.  I plan to add more brooch options in the future, I just have to come up with some ideas.  Any special requests?  I would also love to hear what you think, is this new idea easy to understand?  What's your favorite mix-and-match option?

New Fabric Site on Flickr

Over the last few days I've been taking pictures of my entire stock of dupioni silks and other silk fabrics and adding them to my new Flickr site.  Since I buy a lot of my fabrics in small batches, some colors are only available in limited quantities.  This new site will be easier to update my ever changing and growing dupioni silk stock.  I hope customers will find it easy to navigate and have fun picking out the right colors.  Please keep in mind that I still offer a free swatch service of up to six colors if you'd prefer to see something in person, and there is enough time before your wedding!

Visit my new Fabric site here.

thanks,

One Clutch, Many Looks!

A new idea, now you can purchase one scallop fold over clutch with two different accent ruffle brooches.  Change up your look just by adding a different brooch.  I'm now selling customizable fold over scallop clutches with two different brooches, buy the "One Clutch, Two Looks" listing and save a few dollars rather than buying a second brooch separately.

   As mentioned above, brooches are also sold separately now at $10.00 each and can be
made into hairpins instead for $15.00.

   Available in any of my dupioni silk colors but
if you'd like a certain color that you don't see,
contact me and I'll see what I can do!
