Diva Bags
My Divas, are all made out of special fabrics. You could also call them "Birthday Bags" because on the day they are finished, they are given birthdays and an astrological sign. I also include a romance card with each Diva describing her "purse-onality". Most are silk. Some are made from recycled kimono. Others I add gorgeous feathers to enhance the rich fabrics. Just like us, each diva is a one of a kind! What they have in common is that they are all beautiful!

Dorothy aka "Dot"
Let me introduce you to "Dorothy". She is one of my latest Divas born Saturday, March 7th, making her a Pisces.
Dorothy or "Dot" as her friends call her, was crafted using Thai silk that I purchased in Bangkok at the Jim Thompson Silk Factory. She is exquisitely accented with "polka dot" guinea hen feathers overlaid with a silk panel that donns a beautifully embossed gold plated button.
Her backside has one exterior pocket accented and lined with custom made black and white polka dot (pin dot) cotton fabric.
Dot's handles are 13" black faux leather with brass hardware.
Her interior is lined with the black and white polka dot fabric and sports one pocket. There is a magnetic snap closure on this gal.
This bag measures 10" tall x 6" wide.
I will include a beautiful purse hook with this purse because she is just too lovely to ever have sitting on a restaurant table or restroom floor!
She will be shipped in a storage box to protect and keep her safe.
Dot enjoys spending her days with friends. She can often be seen scouting out finds in art galleries and flea marts. She is a loyal woman with strong values. Dot chooses to focus on the positive side of most situations. She will make a wonderful companion!

Choucho "Butterfly"
Please welcome my latest diva bag!
The Japanese word for butterfly is Choucho and I am sure you will figure out why I chose this name for her. I used one of my recently purchased silk obis for her exterior. It is black with gold metallic mums and leaves. But the beauty my eye caught was the butterflies with orange wings and baby blue highlights. This obi even has bits of lime green and purple that I was able to work into the panels that Choucho was made from.
I gave her one exterior pocket. It is lined with a black tone on tone kimono fabric and accented with black piping.
Her handles are black satin gathered over heavy cording and just the right size to hold onto delicately in your hands.
Inside, Choucho is secure with a black magnetic snap closure. Her lining is more of the black kimono fabric. The tone on tone print is truly amazing!
I also gave her two interior pockets and accented them with gold satin piping to make them easy to see when needing to grab that lipstick or wallet!
Being born on March 22, Choucho is an Aries. She is an adventurous, energetic gal who shows confidence in everything she does. She loves to chat and makes friends easily. She loves music and art but is fickle in her tastes. There is never a dull moment when you have Choucho as your girlfriend!- $120.00
