THE ELODIE TOTE

the ELODIE TOTE, a gorgeous goodie bag full of strength and grace.

pictured above you see the ELODIE in bone, gray, and  brilliant citron.

 bear in mind that she can be built in a myriad of color combinations. 

which means no two are alike, just imagine the possibilities here!

 i'm totally in love with her no nonsense authenticity. i do believe simplicity is seductive,
 you won't find any stitch pollution on this carrying companion...

 keeping it clean is a priority in my designs. 

MATERIAL, IDEA, EXECUTION, PURPOSE & QUALITY

TRAVEL LIKE A SAMURAI

here we have THE SAMURAI WEEKENDER, an incredibly roomy travel companion.

the samurai is grounded in the values of gorgeous design, simple shapes, and the power of function, which are stitched into every seam. in designing this piece i have paid attention to what is needed, what is wanted,  which leaves you with a sensuously modern collectible that is at the core, timeless and beyond. as always, i have translated the unassuming vintage leather coat into a downright inimitable work of utilitarian art.

BIG THANKS to all my readers who are checking in on the evolutions of my design work. 

i have been flexing the heck out of my creative muscles over here lately. 

it had been a bit since i have posted any recent work, but rest assured, my work has been my muse, and i feel at times like a one woman industry, with my fingerprints all over every single step of the process.  i hope you find yourself inspired by the tinkering of my hands. 

after pawing the ground for some time, and at the risk of sounding like i have attention deficit disorder,  i have changed the name of my brand, and am delighted to introduce the namesake collection,  SITALISA MARIE.

i have invested in a kingsley stamping machine which allows me to imprint my brand in gold, or silver, or emboss the lettering deep into the surface of the leather. i am 100% fascinated with this contraption and let me just say, it really classes up the aesthetic of my labels, HUGELY!!!! 

i am so grateful to have begun learning some tricks of the trade  from Willy Brewer. Willy is 70 and began working with leather at the formative age of 11.  So far he has taught me how to make old fashioned, harness style, copper and brass rivets. this means i am now hammering away on my anvil and wielding an arsenal of new exciting tools.  

more to come about all this growth... so much more promise.

THE LAKSHMI BAG

 introducing the coveted LAKSHMI BAG, a fine intersection of fashion, craft, and design. 

all four shown examples of this bag are the very same design, created from different vintage leather jackets. unified in form and function, yet aesthetically enigmatic due to the original garment they emerged from. i adore this bag for its ability to dress up and down and its design which open like a clam of exceeding capacity - it is unquestionable the epitome of rustic chic. i hand craft each and every piece from a - z, if you have an appreciation for WABI,  (the japanese characteristic of beauty which embraces worn, imperfect, elegance), 

then these bags are for you. they in no way have the feeling of a mass produced carry-all, rather, they are saturated in story, crafted from a passion for beauty and proportion, with evidence of the artist's hand in every intricate detail. thank you for taking a moment to view 

my work. if you should be interested in procuring a LAKSHMI BAG of your very own, or selecting from my collection of silhouettes, i am delighted to make arrangements for you.
