They are the bags that hold the baggage, & not just the bad kind, the kind a girl compacts into her life-holder, to her feel complete. You can always count on your Boyfriendbag, never have to worry about infidelity, & can even share with friends. Boyfriendbags will always be there to hang by your side and can be flaunted at every occasion. The bags are one of a kind, custom made, and personalized on stories of support, advice, betrayals, confessions or even just untold secrets. The line includes clutches to bigger bags, vintage feel mixed with urban style, ranging in a $55-$375 price range. Go green? Recycle & restore - all material & hardware purchased from second-hand stores - consider Joe’s trash, your cash!
I was just doodling and writing poetry on old bags, then friends starting noticing they could be something more. My handbags have become my canvas for journal entries. Either from heartbreak to betrayal to rejection to deceit … either from a boyfriend, bestie, buddy, lover, sister or brother - my stories and of those close to me have become my inspiration for boyfriendbags. Every bag & its name has a story. Either meaningful to me, or to the owner. They are all one of a kind, however can be re-produced/modified…etc.
A nightmare? There has been so many! Since I’m using old fabrics/paints/iron transfers, I’ve had to test/re-test and sample almost every type of material/media combo. It took a while until I found the right, permanent materials/finishes, etc. My biggest accomplishment was my feature in Twist Magazine (on stands now), otherwise I feel most accomplished when I sell a bag to someone and I see their reaction. Each protocol is time-consuming, every detail from color, to size, to material, to hardware is considered for the owner. To know that I hit their style on the dot, makes the time/effort feel worth it!!
