Handmade custom purses, especially those made out of vintage fabrics and/or old clothes.
The best site I found for them is SaraAnn Designs.--I love that she tells you what clothes she used to make her bags. I also like Sylvia Designs and think there are some really cute things at Baby Peach.
I'm also a super big fan of the sites that let you custom design your own bag. 1154 LILL Studio is probably the best of these, and I love how interactively their site works, but I am also impressed with the wide vintage fabric selection at mandy b. bags.
Anyway, just wanted to give a shout-out to these women, because I think they are doing a great thing on several leves. First, female self-employment is good, good, good. Secondly, original couture is most excellent, and what could be better than a one-of-a-kind bag? Finally, to the women using old clothes and vintage fabrics, extra props for making something old new again.
Now the question is how to limit myself to only ordering from ONE of you...
