When the strap of my embroidered leather crossbody purse began to deteriorate, I asked my aunt (Nazneen) if she could help me replace the strap. After opening up the seam and inspecting the lining, my aunt decided it was time for a total makeover. Taking care to incorporate the embroidered leather panels of the original purse, she recreated the purse using leather that perfectly matched the gold and brown tones of the original. Since I was set to leave for a family trip to Europe in a couple of days, my aunt put her preparations for her many art shows and purse orders on hold in order to make my purse from start to finishâsomething for which I can never thank her enough. The finished product was perfect and very versatile. It was spacious enough to hold a notebook and small water bottle (along with other essentials for a day of exploring) but lightweight enough for everyday use (i.e. to hold my phone and wallet). It had high quality zippers on the three main pockets. My aunt also created two inner pockets within the biggest pocket so that small items wouldnât get lostâa major improvement on the original!
I wore my new purse with pride during its six-week âdebutâ in Europe. It has traveled with me to 7 countries and over 15 cities. I wore it to trek through Merlinâs cave in Cornwall, climb Arthurâs Seat in Edinburgh, experience a glacier cave in the Swiss Alps, visit Vatican City and St. Peterâs Basilica, explore the Coliseum, and tour Alhambra and the Great Mosque of CordobaâŚand I hope it will accompany me for many more years on countless journeys and...

This bag really spoke to me and after Nazneen showed me how versatile her 3 year old version was I was sold. She was experimenting with a new style of plaited strap so urged me to try it out that evening and bring it back for a refund if it wasnât comfortable. I wore it to our friends comedy improv show and can confirm that it is just perfect. It was a pleasure to meet you Nazarene and having browsed your website, you may be getting more orders from England in the...
