The following samples are examples of production work that I have done, six to ten pieces of a similar design.

Geisha Bag- Described as the perfect library bag for its size and sturdiness, the bag is constructed of Moda quilted black fabric, an oriental panel in the front, and two pockets in the back.  The trim at the bottom corresponds with the fabric used in the back, blue or brown, high quality Oriental cotton fabric.  The inside is lined with thin, but sturdy upholstery fabric. 

The geisha panel is actually a huge pocket, perfect for storing notebooks or files.  Also great for the beach or an outing where you need to lug stuff.

The bag comes either with two handles or a long strap, also constructed from the Moda quilted black fabric.

Bead Bag- Part passport pouch, part necklace, this small bag is a piece of wearable art that will accent a simple outfit for a night out. 

High quality glass and metal beads are strung on tiger tail (plastic coated metal wire) for durability and crimped.  Some of the bags do have plastic beads and prices reflect lower cost.  Fabrics used include upholstery, ultra suede and vintage sari borders.  All contain a small pocket inside large enough to hold a cell phone.

Some photos show front and back sides of the purses.

$20 unless stated otherwise.

P Pouch

Same idea as the Bead Bags, except all are ultra suede and upholstery. 

I used basically the same fabrics on these, so the distinguishing factor here are the glass beads and seeds.

The back fabric flaps over to the front.

Alien Bag- they are green with a Mexican theme! 

The green fabric is a heavy upholstery with a large pocket on the front.  Inside, there is a small pocket that could hold a cell phone.  The strap is sturdy and the photo below shows one of the bags extended.

V-Bag

The bag is the same on the front and back.  There is an opening in the middle large enough to hold standard notebooks, then at each side, the diagonal contrast is actually a roomy pocket, perfect for cell phone, wallet and other small objects. 

This batch was made with moda quilted fabric for the handles and inside in a bright pink accented by gorgeous Bali batik fabrics.  Bags 2-6 have yo-yos at the pocket entry.
