My spring collection is finally finished. The main theme is simple colors and floral patterns for linings. In this collection I wanted to use more cotton that corduroy, and most items are made of 100% cotton. This means they can all be machine washed and ironed (besides the denim bags, some color may come off). The designs are more sophisticated than the first collection but the whole idea is the same. I like using simple colours and nice linings. I've always enjoyed a nice lining and this is what I try to include in my pieces as well. I also try to make my designs functional... The laptop sleeves are simple but will have a tight fit over the laptop. The large handbags are made for carrying a lot of stuff, but I always also thought big handbags looked nice.
I hope this collection goes well. I'm considering doing this professionally and this collection is my first "trial" at this. I might add some new items later but for now these pieces are it!

Hi Stacey,
I gave the wrap to a friend of mine because she really liked it. For the time being I'm not planning to make any more but if I do then I'll make sure to let you know :)
