Silk en Bonds

My mother loves to sew dresses and every time she makes a dress or curtains or sheets, she can’t help to waste fabric from tailoring the dress. So what I did was I collected the unused fabrics to make handbags with personality. I add some beads and sequence, pearls and lace. When I was in high school, I make these bags just for fun and my classmates and friend loved my art pieces. And they always watch out for my new designs. So, normally, that’s how my life works then. Until one day, I came to school with a lime and pink tote bag that was adored by my classmate and the whole day she kept on looking it until she finally ask me if she could buy the bag because she can’t just borrow a bag that she think she can never return because she really loved the style and the colors. So, the next day, I brought the tote bag and sold it to her. And after that incident, every time I bring a new bag to school, someone asks to buy it until I decided to sell all my collection and I made lots of money because of the unused fabrics that my mom usually throws before. Now, I have a small store and I sell purse, tote bag, backpacks, clutch, etc. and I also accept custom made bags.
