My Story

I spent my youth in a small town called Iwakuni, Japan (famously known for their "Kintai Bridge").  My father was stationed at MCAS (Marine Corps Air Station) Iwakuni, which is a short train ride way from Miyajima and Hiroshima. 

My mother was from Kyoto, so I was very fortunate to spend many summers there.  Since then, having made numerous trips back to Japan, I have been able to collect "Kimono" and "Obi" from vintage shops throughout Japan.  My favorite places to shop are Kyoto and Nara.

Several years ago I decided to create a line of Japanese inspired bags.  Some of these collections are made with vintage fabrics and others are made from Asian inspired print fabrics that I feel bring out the art and beauty of such a wonderful country.  I feel each in itself is a unique creation.

Some things I have in my "Fun Collection" that are not Asian at all, I just fell in love with the fabrics!  My retro tote bags is a very popular item.

I hope you enjoy my collections as much as i have enjoyed making them!
