Inspiration

The Lord of the Rings movie left an everlasting impression on me, with Tolkien's beautiful descriptions capturing my imagination. When I stumbled upon vintage silver beads, a whimsical idea took hold—I wanted to create a bag inspired by the elegant elves of Middle-earth. They always seemed to radiate beauty and grace, like shimmering creatures of wonder. So, with excitement and dedication, I embarked on bringing their essence to life. Each stitch and detail tells a story of their timeless allure. This bag is my way of sharing a touch of that enchantment with you, inviting you to embrace the elegance and charm of the elven realm.

The bags in my collection are made with the highest quality materials, sourced from all over the world. My goal is to create an “antique” look that will stand the test of time. I use gold and silver threads from Japan for shine and elegance. The beads worked into my designs are also from Japan (Toho or Miyuki beads) or from the Czech Republic (Preciosa beads). The sequins in my work are sourced from France and Italy, and the crystals from Swarovski. I use natural pearls or order them from Swarovski as well. Each of my handbags is designed to be a piece of wearable art. To keep them looking their best, treat them either as antiques or as pieces of jewelry. Avoid overloading them and they will retain their beauty for years to come.

I use high quality materials in my works. This means a longer life for the handbag, a beautiful shine and and flawless look. If I need to achieve an "antique" look, high quality materials are must. I use mostly Japanese toho or miyuki beads, less often I use Czech preciosa beads. My gold and silver threads also come from Japan. Products with silver/golden threads are especially fragile and require special care. Crystals and pearls (if not natural) I order from Swarovski. Sequins I work with come from France and Italy.
My handmade handbags are not for common everyday use (rather special events/occasions) and not for carrying extra heavy things in them. Think of them as an antique if you want them to live and serve you long. :)
