Custom Order for customer

This purse was designed for a customer who had a vast assortment of pins and brooches and was looking for a unique way to "show them off".   So, this "brooch purse" was developed!  This purse is a one-of-a-kind design created just for her!  She specified how large she wanted it, how many pockets she needed, and she indicated she needed the handles to fit over her shoulder.  Together we created this purse with a "flap" to allow her to display her pins.  Custom order.  Priced according to size, shape, fabric, etc. 

Custom Pin/Brooch Purse

Purses, Purses, Purses!!

I've begun a new venture - a purse business!   What started as a fun hobby - and tinkering around to make homemade purses for four nieces for Christmas - has now turned into a full blown business!  

All purses are handmade in my home and designed by me....with a little help of course from purse templates I've found in books and online.   My fabrics and ribbons and color selections are individually picked by me but I can also take custom orders.  

PURSE CRAFTSMANSHIP DETAILS

All purses come with one pocket and a magnetic snap or button closure (except "the cape" style, as indicated in the purse description section).  My purses have a plastic canvas insert on the bottom for added strength to prevent "bag sag".  I reinforce "stress points" like pockets, seams, and magnetic closures with extra stitching or added interfacing for strength and durability.  The purse is also stitched around the top (topstitched) for a clean, professional finish.  All purses are fully lined with an adhesive interfacing or a 'stitched in' interfacing (depending on style) for extra durability.  Purse styles that include ribbons come with two ribbons that are seared on the ribbon end to prevent ribbon fray.  Pockets are designed to hold a standard sized cell phone (no more fumbling around trying to find it in the bottom of your purse!) and are typically made in the novelty print to match the outside print of your purse.  Fun or whimsical contrast linings and extra pockets can be added at customers request for nominal fees ($5.00). Extra ribbon can also be purchased (for styles that include ribbons) for $5 a piece.   Just Ask!  

"STUFF" - you know, the 'odds and ends'.....

I am a "one woman" business owner and full time Mom..., and all orders are "made to order" so delivery can vary from a few days, to two weeks, depending on the number of orders I have at any given time.  If you are placing an order for an 'event' such as Birthday gift, anniversary gift, valentines day, etc...please be sure to tell me upfront so it will arrive on time.  At this time I only do priority shipping with delivery confirmation (2-3 days).  And, every order comes packaged in a white gift bag with pink tissue For Free!! 

CONTACT INFORMATION  

I can be reached via phone   

(575) 519-0392 or email at ckpye4@yahoo.com. 

Unfortunately, at this time I am unable to process credit cards or take orders online via this site.  Cash, checks and money orders are accepted.  Details can be discussed at time of ordering.   

SHIPPING INFORMATION

If you live in the Silver City or Tyrone New Mexico area I will deliver your purse to you for free.  Otherwise, I will ship products anywhere in the USA.  The charge for one purse to ship with delivery confirmation is $9.00 via the postal service priority mail.  Add $3 for each additional purse to ship.  (2-3 day delivery).  Shipping insurance (optional) can also be added if you so choose, just let me know.    

CUSTOM PURSES - MAKE YOUR OWN!  HOW FUN!  

Please be sure to view my swatches and various custom purses I've made for other customers.  Prices depend on handle, purse dimensions, and details....we can create a purse just for you!  How fun is that??!! 

Custom purses I've made that can be found on this site are the:  Red Hat Society purse, Pin/Brooch purse, and the "MOM" purse.   

Favorite links

The Cha-Cha:   Offered in two sizes.  Smaller size offered with bamboo or brown plastic handles, and larger size has a 25" fabric handle perfect for "over the shoulder".   Both cha-cha bags come with one pocket, fully lined, and magnetic snap closure. 

Small cha-cha offered in beautiful brown cotton twill fabric and gorgeous brown/aqua drop beads with velvet ribbon trim.  Measures 14" x 6" x 3.25".  Includes a bamboo handle, one pocket and magnetic snap closure. $35

Larger cha-cha offered in black twill cotton fabric and hot pink beading trim.  Measures 14"x7"x4".  Fabric handle fits nicely over shoulder and measures 25".  Includes one pocket and magnetic snap closure.  $35. 

Note: This larger size can also be made with the brown twill and brown/aqua beading trim for $40.

At this time my "cha-cha" purses can't be customized  due to my limited inventory of beading assortments.  The one other color combination I have (aside from the two featured in my pictures), is a blue cotton twill paired with blue and clear beading trim.  Price for the small size would be $35 (with a bamboo handle) and the large bag with a fabric 'over the shoulder' strap would be $35.

Note: Please specify ribbon choices when ordering.  Choices are featured in my photo displays.

The Olivia:  This is the smallest bag I offer...but don't be fooled by its size, it's big on detail!  Fully lined with solid or novelty lining of your choice, this purse is adorable for little girls.  The flap button closure matches the bag lining.  The Olivia purse also features one pocket.  Measures 11.5" x 4.5" x 3.5".  The fabric handle measures 17" and fits perfectly over a little girls shoulder.   $14.

Looking for something not so "cutesy"...this bag can be the PERFECT little black bag to jazz up that "tried and true" little black dress you own.  Picture This:  small black quilted bag (or black twill fabric, your choice) with fabric handle...add some colorful sparkle fabric around the top edge, add a magnetic snap closure and ZAM! you have a perfect "clutch size" black bag for any special occasion. One pocket included and comes with a solid black lining.....all for just $14.  Customization of handle for longer length to fit snugly under your arm is $5 extra.

This bag can also be created in a larger size measuring 12" x 6" x 3.75".  Price range on larger size approx. $20 (depending on fabric lining choice). 

The Hello Kitty:  This purse is a true hit among little girls!  Purse measures the same in dimension as "The Olivia" (above).  An adorable Hello Kitty ribbon acts as the closure, and little girls can easily tie it closed.  Ribbon ends are seared to prevent ribbon fray.  A sparkly rhinestone flower decal is adhered onto the front of the purse for a classy yet cute "little girl" touch.  Purse shown in the photos above features a Heart Charm, which is an OPTIONAL purchase for an additional $5.  Charms come in pink or clear white.  The Hello Kitty bag comes with a pink lining and a pocket.  Measures 11.5" x 4.5" x 3.5".  The fabric handle measures 17" and fits perfectly over a little girls shoulder.  $18 (without charm).  $23 (with charm).

NOTE:  This purse is not recommended for sale to children under age 3 due to the rhinestones as cautioned by the manufacturer of this product. 

The Cape:  This style reminds me of growing up on Cape Cod in Massachusetts....casual and preppy, this bag features my favorite color combination of pink and green....complete with a paisley print coordinated pink and green lining.  This bag does not have a magnetic or button closure due to the nature of the design, nor does it have a canvas plastic insert like all my other purses.  Instead, this bag is reinforced with a heavy interfacing lining for extra durability and "stiffness" so the bag can stand up on its own....but don't be fooled, it's not so stiff that it's uncomfortable to carry.  Comes with one pocket and interfaced bottom lining to prevent "bag sag".   Measures 14" x 8" x 4".  $24.  

Like this design but want other colors?  Preview my color swatches and together we can create something beautiful. 

The Marge:  This purse is fun, yet sophisticated (aptly named after my Gram Marge!).  This purse has a classy black quilted exterior and is paired with a whimsical lining of black background with pink and white polka dots.   Also comes with two ribbons to "dress up" the exterior.  Yes, two looks for the price of one!  The Marge comes with an interior pocket and the purse measures 12" x 6" x 3.75".  Fabric handles measure 24" to fit nicely over your shoulder.  Your choice of a flap button closure (as featured in photo gallery above) or a magnetic snap closure (the magnetic snap does not feature a fabric flap).  $30

Custom Belts:  The belts I offer are ribbon and/or fabric belts with a silver D ring buckle for closure.  They are double sided reversible belts made from ribbons/fabric of your choice.  All come reinforced with a fabric or interfacing layer sandwiched between the ribbon/fabric layers. Pull together an outfit by coordinating the ribbon from your purse to match your belt.  Belts are offered in either a width of 7/8" or 1.5" wide, depending on the ribbon selection of your choice.  Please specify your waist or hip measurement (where do your jeans fall?  If they are "low rise" jeans or pants, measure your lower waist line...or pull out your favorite pair of jeans and measure around the waist with the top button closed....in inches please).   

Prices vary depending on size.  Little Girls/Girls belts are $10.  Ladies Belts are $15.
