This could shape up to be a very promising and exciting year for 83west.  Here's to a very Happy New Year!

A little preview.....

Just a little preview to what I've been working on.. More variations are coming.  The back is accented with velvet ribbon and a coordinating vintage brooch.  Perfect for the upcoming holiday season!

it's been a while...

  

Sorry to have fallen off the radar.  The summer was enjoyed and the fall is passing quicker than a blink of an eye.

 

It's time to focus on the holidays!  I've been working hard to restock the shop with new items and some old favorites.

I will be updating this space multiple times a week and hope to post some tutorials and such.

 

Welcome back!

A New Way to Pick Fabrics

(click on photo to see larger image)

I've been trying to streamline the custom order process for my customers and will be trying to keep all of my fabric offerings in one place.  Of course if you don't see a swatch that you like, I'll work with you to find just what you need.  Next, I'll be working on my solid color offerings.

Wedding Collection Preview

Here's a peek at part of the new wedding clutch collection. 

New items will continue to be added this weekend.  Be sure to check back to see all of the new options.

I love the timelessness and elegance of black and white -- the look can change so drastically depending on what accent color you use with it.

Here's a peek at the new wedding collection...

Wedding Clutch Inspiration::Modern Nautical

Such a sophisticated twist on the classic nautical theme.  This is one of the color combinations featured in my collection of new wedding clutches -- a navy print is featured on the exterior with apple green accents and lining.  What a great combination for upcoming summer weddings or gift your bridal party with one of the XL totes perfect for weekend trips or days at the beach.

Such a gorgeous picture for some wedding clutch inspiration!

For the Spring/Summer collection, I've primarily focused on solid, cross-woven exteriors with coordinating cotton print interiors.  A chic fabric flower brooch completes the clutch.  Of course, the clutches can also be crafted using the print for the exterior and solid for the lining.  Both will be featured on the blog and in the shop on Monday.

Coming Soon::Custom Bridal Clutches

On Monday, May 14th I will be launching my Spring/Summer bridal collection. 

Using elements of Pantone's spring forecast as inspiration, I have put together a collection of solids and prints sure to make your big day special.  Personalization will be available to create a special memento to remember your day for years to come.  Special pricing is available for orders of four or more and all orders are beautifully packaged ready for gift-giving.

More details to come...

Welcome to my new blog!

My goal for this space is to use it to update you on new products, upcoming shows, and other everyday happenings.

I will be updating the shop regularly during the week and will be posting new product info here.
