Bold Handmade Floral Crossbody Bag


"An artist is never ahead of his time but most people are far behind theirs." Edgard Varese


Bold and Colorful-just enough to brighten your day. check out my Flower Power Crossbody Bag. I love the intensity of the colors that this floral patterned fabric has. The black background is truely enhanced by the multiple colors of the flowers. They seem to explode from the fabric!

The sleek, comfortable fit of this bag makes it a favorite among my friends. Available in my etsy and madeitmyself shops.

Using Fabric To Enhance Your Designs








I love color! My bags all reflect bold, colorful fabrics which appeal to those who dare to be different from the masses." Simplicity with a touch of whimsy" is what simplyvdesigns is all about. I like to highlight certain aspects of the particular fabric used for my bags to make them appear 2 dimensional. Utilizing various shapes or patterns within the fabric accent each and every bag design. My bags are not for the shy individual who shuns the spotlight. Simplyvdesigns makes unique women's/girl's bags of all sorts. Check out my shops on etsy.com and madeitmyself-if you dare.......Victoria
