Annika

The Annika is named after my sidekick, Annika!  She keeps me on track in the studio which proves to be quite a challenge!

I have talked before about having fun designing and creating different shape bags but also being intimidated by tackling this very notion.  The Annika is one such bag and I am so pleased with the end product!  Some ladies shy away from rounded bags but I love them!  First off, they make a statement (and because of the Annika’s size, it really does!).  Secondly, items do not get lost in the corners  (something I learned during the creative process).  This bag is lovely because it hangs very close to the body and actually molds around your hip for a sleek profile.  The adjustable strap lends itself to much versatility.  

Fringe!  I really do love the creative process, especially when I can get a customer into my studio.  A longtime client (and now friend!) visited me and was looking for just THE bag.  She was drawn to the shape of this bag but wanted to make a BIG statement so we added fringe.  This is not just any fringe but 10” fringe which ups the drama factor . . .   I’m in love!

I challenge you to give the rounded shape a chance!  I think you will be pleasantly surprised at how comfy and easy it is to wear.
