| Introduction | Welcome to my blog! My name is Dana. After several years in the New York fashion industry, I decided to focus full time on my love of designing and making handbags. I love scouting high and low to find beautiful high-end leather and gorgeous antique and vintage keys with a history behind them; then I incorporate them into my line of leather bags and vintage-inspired accessories. Every piece is a piece of history! This blog is about some observations on designing leather handbags and accessories, collecting antique keys, a mad crush on all things vintage, and my life as a creative entrepreneur. Thanks for visiting! |
