Giveaway Monday: B Stauff Designs Clutch
The lovely Barb at BStauff Designs is offering this amazing, vintage-inspired, clutch for this week’s giveaway. Please read about Barb & her shop and then find out how to win at the end!
Barb, from Easton, has been around the block as far as crafts go! She can remember creating Christmas ornaments from old greeting cards. She’s worked on ceramics, cross-stitch, knitting, & crochet. But 17 years ago, her husband got her a sewing machine as a gift – regardless of the fact that she didn’t know how to sew!
Barb says, “I began making my girls Halloween costumes and special occasion dresses. Over the years, I then branched out to make my own clothes, vintage reproductions, and home decor items. Two years ago, when my youngest went to school full time, I began making handbags and fell in love with that. It was much more fun than worrying about fitting issues, and I opened my business, B Stauff Designs, in the fall of 2007.”
The common thread in Barb’s pieces is a vintage simplicity. She says, “My inspiration comes from many places. Books, magazines, nature and especially vintage fashion and fabrics. When I design a new piece, I sketch out my ideas for the basic shape and style, and then I picture one of the fabrics I have and color the design to match.”
Barb is working on expanding her business & hoping to start selling her aprons and handbags in brick & mortar boutiques. In fact, much of her beautiful work is currently being shown in a shop! But please stop by B Stauff Designs and take a look around!
And now for our giveaway!

This would be the perfect gift for my sister in law’s for her birthday!
I love your stuff Barb!
I love this clutch! I’ve been thinking of making one myself but this style is perfect for what I want it for.
I’m going to share with others on twitter and facebook!

super cute! I love vintage-y looking pieces for everyday, mixed with jeans , big earrings, and a great scarf!
Where wouldn’t I like to carry this bag!? It’s super cute. I’d take with me to a lovely brunch with the ladies, out on the town for cocktails and dancing, to the store to pick up some orange juice…
I’ll have to tweet all my favorite twitterians about this one.
miss koco’s last blog post..proud to be…
How fabulous! Just in time for spring and summer! This bag will travel with me all around my home state of PA and I will be proud to announce that it’s made right here! And of course it will travel with me down to the jersey shore on the weekends!
Wow what a beautiful bag!! Everyone above is on the mark that this is a special event bag for a dinner date but it would also be a gorgous bag with jeans and a peasant top for a casual gathering.
Thanks for sharing!!
This is a great cluch!! Would complement my dress for my sister’s wedding in September but practical enough to be used for work!
I am under the firm impression that cocktails go better with clutches.
My plans would be to carry it around with me in the fabulous town of Asheville that I live in, where handmade art is valued much higher than box-store crap that falls apart in 15 minutes.
This clutch would be my keeper of all things fabulous, such as an assortment of tea bags, lip gloss, and not to mention my tiny flask to spike my tea with for those extra special occasions. And of course a business card or three from the lovely lady who created this piece of art so that others may indulge as well!
With a clutch like that, who wouldn’t want to use it to compliment even the most basic of t-shirts and jeans?
Love Love Love it. If I have a second chance to win this clutch (therefor adding it to my collection of clutches) of course I will post it far and wide! (Facebook, StumbleUpon, and Twitter!)
I’d take it to the movies- perfect size for my cell, my ticket, and my keys!
I absolutely love B. Stauff Designs.
I already own one of her bags and get compliments from ladies all the time. I would use this clutch for just about any occasion. Great for spring or summer!
my mom and I dress up and go to a flower show every year for Mother’s Day, and I have a spring wedding to attend. And 2 dresses that this clutch would be perfect for, it’s lovely!
Stunning clutch! I certainly can’t pick one place to carry it though because I’m sure it would come along with me everywhere! But on date nights with my husband it would certainly be a perfect companion!
Oh Mandie’s last blog post..Madeline . Necklace
I love this. I think I would carry it everywhere. I’d throw away 50% of my purse contents just to fit it in this bag. Love.
I love this clutch! It is such a beautiful color and style! I have this B.Stauff design original in black and have received many compliments on it. This color really shows off the beautiful style of this clutch. I would carry this with me everywhere!
pick me! Pick me! I would love to win! :)

I love the relaxed green color… I would carry it to dinner during my vacation to Florida!
I would love to take this bag on date night in NYC with husband.
Great bags. Nice style where the flap goes to the side in each bag. The Vintage Inspired Bowbelle Bag in B-Designs is an awesome shape too. There aren’t many places i go in which i’m carrying a clutch bag because i’d forget it. UG. But i’d love to think that i’d carry this bag into and out of an art opening or nice dinner.

I would love to fly away to Costa Rica. Wearing the vintage inspired clutch along with a B.Stauff dress.
This is a lovely lovely handbag. It has it all great style, fabric, size and personal stamp. Wonderful!! I would take it to Paris with me and show them a little fashion from America. Keep up the good work you are so very talented.
I would take that beautiful bag to the park, to the grocery store and then out for drinks with my circle of goodness. I love it!
I love the style of the clutch! I would carry it everywhere!
It’s dressy enough for a night out, and cute and casual enough for work. Beautiful!
I would use this clutch to take with me to church. It would be perfect because when I add a Bible and SS book to care this would be the way to go! I love the colors and they would go with most anything. Thanky you for the beautiful giveaway!
That is absolutely adorable! It would be perfect for carrying around Italy, to show the Italians that PA is a great place for handmade items!
I’d carry it anywhere that I didn’t take my son with me (I need a free hand for a clutch!)
I’d carry the clutch to the SXSW film festival.

Tori’s last blog post..Bully baby
I will take this purse to a Sunday Morning church service, out to a elegant dinner with my husband -basically anywhere.
This clutch is so cute it could turn non-purse-carrying me into someone that actually carried one! No more fumbling around for my phone! And it would look great walking the streets on our Vegas vacation!
I would love to carry this purse to an upcoming bridal shower I am attending for my best friend! It would compliment it so nicely!
Katherine’s last blog post..Apartment Therapy Chicago | House Tour: Beth’s Photogenic…

I love this bag! So adorable! What cute stuff!
Jingle’s last blog post..My Thoughts for This Thursday
I love the little vintage inspired cluth and must confess that green is my favoirte color. The design is splendid. I took a peek into Barb’s Etsy shop and noticed she has Totes, too. Now those would be handy for anyone to have.
I would carry the clutch with me out to Boston, MA each time I go. The clutch would fit right in out Eastt and surely get asked about. There’s a fun little “Caught on Camera” ploy that a frined of mine and I have planned and this clutch would work perfect as one of our props. Can’t say any more…but it will be fun and funny. (No, it’s not a ploy involving setting up a purse snatching). Thanks for the generosity and a chance to win the clutch.
