FASHION

Python, Completed (& More)

I am on my quest to becoming the designer that I dream to be. Shoes and handbags are my poisons of choice. In fact, I have just completed this python clutch. I have lovingly stitched it by hand — time consuming, but well worth it. This handbag, however, is just one out of many. Don’t sleep on me! I have a collection in the works! I also look forward to selling my pieces at Holt Renfrew, Bergdorf’s, Barneys and Selfridges very, very soon.

Have you seen the handbag I made as a finalist for the Crystal Light Designer Purse Challenge? You can view it (and vote for me, please!) here.

I’m trying to get on that Lagerfeld/Jacobs/Louboutin tip. And guess what? Slowly but surely, it’s working…

Thanks for supporting my dream.

#WINNING!

MY GOODIES

Friendly Competition

I was chosen as a finalist for the “Crystal Light Designer Purse Challenge.” When I found out, I almost fell off the tiny bunk-bed I was sleeping on in a small Montreal suburban apartment.

Now, a few weeks later, I’m staying at a hotel in Toronto freaking the &%$# out. Please excuse my French.

For those of you who know me, (particularly my fellow NY accomplices), you know darn well that I am very meticulous, detail-oriented and extremely hard-working when it comes to creating my designs. And time is NEVER on my side. NEVER EVER. (Time, why must you do me like that?!)

I have one full day to put this bag together, and it goes off to a fashion show at the Design Exchange in Toronto this coming Tuesday. I need all the luck I can get.

Here’s a sneak peek. My purse was inspired by the flavour “Pink Lemonade.”
