This week’s giveaway is sponsored by Janell, from J Almodovar – Lancaster.
Janell creates handbags and wristlets from both new & vintage fabric, as well as found materials such as bulk coffee sacks. quality is a huge deal for me…She says, “I love to mix designer with vintage using lots of texture and color. I want my bags to last a long time, so quality is a huge deal for me.”
Janell explains how she started:
I made my first handbag in high school out of patches from old jeans (yikes!). At that time it was just for fun, but about 2 years ago, after getting a few wholesale accounts with boutiques and setting up my etsy shop, I was able to quit my day job and make handbags full time.
Enter this week’s giveaway to win the bag pictured directly above. It is 15″ wide at top, 17″ wide at bottom, 10.5″ high and 2″ deep. The shoulder straps measure 23″ long. It has, “2 inside pockets, one penslip and a key clip to cut down on digging time when you are in a rush. The liner is constructed of a sturdy unbleached natural cotton for extra durability and the top of the bag closes with a magnetic snap.”
