You might remember this bag style from a custom piece we created a few months back for one of our etsy customers. We have a stack of these bags in various colour/color schemes ready to go if we manage to get a day to devote to new stock. ( custom orders a choco block right now! ) It will be great to have some bags back in the shop again soon. We managed to get the first one completed for a special etsy order and got some funky snaps of the tote swing swongin. Enjoy!
If you would like to order one of these babies from our etsy store, or indeed would like to give us your fave colour scheme , we can create one just for you! These Adorned Large Totes cost 120dollars.

So I have been very busy in the studio this week with a big custom order. A super client of mine on etsy suggested that we go for a venetian jacket with an edgier twist! Instead of the usual cream brocade we went for a rich plum! After 3 dyeing attempts (and a bag full of nerves) the last batch came out the most perfect rich plum, yet still looked vintage and antique. Quite often brighter colours don't lend well to getting that authentic old aesthetic so I kept going until the colour passed the ancient test! ;)
My client has a flair for design herself and even submitted fashion sketchs of her proposal including the most amazing fleur de lis scroll pattern for the back! This is now my favourite part of the jacket as it has brought a whole new embellishment to the forefront that I never would have thought of!
I am also awaiting a shipment of swarovski crystals to adorn the back and these will also be added once they arrive in Ireland! No doubt I will need a good movie to watch whilst doing those by hand! eek!
Note: those of you who have not seen the post below I am running a giveaway cometition for a gorgeous cuff if you fancy entering scroll down below to comment. ;)

This is my Venetian Inpired Jacket with a romantic Pairisian inspired twist, with lots of vintage ivory and black lace accents! This is slowly becoming one of the most popular items in my etsy store and I should have many to show you guys in the coming months! so stay tuned. ;)

Ok, so I decided to pop a few of my bridal pieces into my etsy shop ( for the sheer joy of fluffing it up a little! ) I am totally aware that its impossible to sell an higher end items over the net and especially something as special as a wedding dress, because lets face it , that baby needs a lot of fitting before the wedding day! But I thought it would be a nice element to add to the shop just to show a little of what can be done with that particular victorian/steampunk style and not being afraid to introduce a few frayed edges (sacre coeur!) into a wedding gown! (well why not!)
An etsy pal Rubyclover asked me how did I get that ethereal quality to the photos and to be quite honest Rubes, (nothing to do with camera, or photoshop) I think its the venue! They were shot in a renovated lepers hospital here in Ireland and I think that foggy dewy atmosphere is more about the fact that its haunted and nothing else! Mwah ahaha! (am I too late for Halloween?)
