Upscale Handmade: Dragon Designs

Today's featured shop is Dragon Designs. This is a one woman operation making fantastic purses and bags as well as a few other accessories. She studied design at the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City and has been creating clothing, accessories, home decor, and costumes for decades. Now that her homeschooled daughter has gone off to college she has more time to devote to the joys of creating and designing.

I absolutely love the fabric choices and that the weight of the fabric along with layers of fleece and stabilizer make these sturdy, long lasting investments. All stress points are at least double or triple stitched to further add to the life of your bag. Also, the use of inner pockets and/or key fobs is a definite plus for the organizationally challenged like myself.

In addition to the great styles of purses, totes and handbags you will find coordinating pouches and gadget cases to store you cosmetics or cell phone, MP3 players and credit cards. To top it all off, she loves working with her customers to create a custom piece and make sure you get exactly what you are looking for.
