A Bag for every season, every reason under the sun...

It's true; the number of ways I can assemble these bags lend them a certain amount of character which is a bonus for anyone who believes in the freedom of self-expression.

The bags are made from a simple pattern I designed and the flexibility coming with that lies in the number of colors, textures and types of fabric that are available to me.  Literally I'm only limited by what is available and even that can be temporary.

I'm planning on brining to my Etsy new sections; Basic Bags, Embellished Bags, Themed Bags, Steampunk Bags and Showcase bags

Basic bags will come in a wide variety of colors and textures in as many combinations as I can devise.  This is  the one section I need the most feedback on from all interested.  I've got a few basic ideas, but I need to know what will sell so your feedback helps a lot!  They will come top-stitched which finishes the seams nicely but little else in the ways of embellishment.  This catagory will also be including fabrics such as faux silk, satin, panne velvet, suede, cotton prints and solids,

Embellished Bags are a bit more restricted on what will be available, but will contain elements like embroidery, beading and sequins.  There will be a few basic designs over all, but there will be variety within those designs.

Themed Bags are similar to Embellished bags in that they'll have little touches that bring to mind a specific character in general.  Characters from Wonderland or Wizard of Oz could be found here among others, like Punk or Zombie bags.

Showcase bags are those that are unique in every aspect of the word.  These would include the Dragonscale, Cthulu, Rose Garden, and the Elvish-make bags. 

Character bags will be an all-ages sort of section and each bag will have a unique personality to it.  The points just lend themselves to "ears" for a critter or moster face and can be modifided to make the bag look like a vegitable.

Steampunk bags will have the Victorian Industrial look that is becoming all the rage and will come in a limited range of colors but keep within the suedes, silks and velvets with the occasional taffeta and brocade for a different look.  There will be pockets and hardware galore on these bags coupled with pencil/pen holders, and clips for belt loops.

Specialty fabric bags will feature limited quantity specialty prints that I have available in specific themes and colors.  This is the section where my current items will be listed once I start listing more bags.
