I stumbled upon a collection of these glorious bags at a shoe store last Saturday. And...now...I'm...obsessed!
What do you think???

I see why you love them. Wow are they ever pretty.

On the other hand, for $350, they should be pretty!

Currently working on a boys quilt. Sized 40 x 40 inches. It has chickens, chicken eggs, cows, fish, sea life, afield with water, Dachshunds, mini sailboats, and many colorful other fabrics. The blocks are a 4 x 4 finished size, so many of them are needed.
This my 4th quilt in 7 months.

I happened upon some painted Sharif bags on HSN last night. Haven't tried the brand so can't address the quality. Still, you might want to look. Check the new arrivals.

I bought one about 6 years ago when they weren't as expensive as they are now. It was smaller than I expected which means that I probably didn't read the size description. The leather was very stiff with the embellishment. The stiffness made it hard to get into the bag. Mine didn't have any outside pockets or inside pockets either. I think that I donated it to charity after a year because I wasn't using it. They are beautiful but didn't fit my life style.

Sewing and reading about sewing are daily pleasures.
I hope to use up lots of stash in 2023. I am also starting to give away fabric, tools, etc that I am not going to use in an attempt to downsize.

I think they are gorgeous! I've been thinking about buying one for a while but haven't been able to decide which one I want the most!

Anuschka bags have been on eBags.com for years... and I keep lusting over them.

They had a spectacular big bag that I really wanted.

It just never made it high enough on my priority list.

I bought a small one for a friend's birthday. They're available on Amazon and eBags, and in my local shoe store. The leather is hefty and soft, and the construction looks very good. We'll see how it holds up, but they are indeed gorgeous.
