Just a little note about me...
My name is Elaine Chassé
and I started making these purses in 2005.
It began as something I made for myself---
then I was asked to make a couple for a friend
and it went from there.
I've been working as a Nail Tech for 26 years
but have always been into making things,
painting,anything creative. 
I love vintage EVERYTHING,
so it was easy working that theme into my bags.
I get fabric and embellishments anywhere
from ebay to estate sales and flea markets. 
Grandmothers attics are a favorite place too!

I carry my own purses and love them.
They ARE made out of vintage fabrics so
you do have to use a little TLC with them.
I try not to put them on restaurant floors etc.
But I do carry mine everywhere,everyday
and have not had any problem.
If you are like me,they are a statement
and are like a piece of jewelry. 
Many thanks for visiting my site! 

Peace,Elaine  2.3.09
