My sewing machine broke down or rather gave up in January and it's been in the workshop for near a month.  But now it's back and already I have many new bags for you here on 'us trendy', on my website and on my blog.

I hope you will find the time to check them out and that you will like my new creations; maybe even see a 'must have'.

All my bags are made with new materials that are 100% cotton and I always use an interfacing meaning that the bags are very strong and resistant; so you don't have to worry when stuffing them full of essentials

Just a little about Alex. She's Canadian but is presently based in Frankfurt, Germany. Alex left Canada years and years ago and has done all sorts of jobs over the years. But the happiest times she's had in life have been when making and creating things. So, when they (her husband and her) decided to move back to Germany, after spending the last two years in Cardiff, UK, she decided to give it a go full time.

 

She found inspiration for her bags from her sister Cynthia who is an impressive artist. She is based in Quebec, Canada and specializes in silk screen prints and has been making and selling bags for years. Her sister didn't mind that she started using her patterns as she knew that Alex would modify them and make them her own. It is actually quite surprising how different their styles are and this was obvious right from the very first bag.

 

She now has her own workshop at home and finds inspiration for each bag simply by looking at the different materials, colours and trying different things out until she feels they look good. She likes adding ribbons, buttons and colourful stitching to make them that much more special. She loves happy colours like pink and orange. And loves making the insides a little funky and fun, she feels it makes wearing the bag that much more special. It's a fun and exciting feeling knowing that the inside is fun and somewhat cool; especially when you're the only one who knows about it!

She is very proud of the fact that no two bags are the same, it's so hard to find things that not everyone else is wearing these days. So she thought it would be a nice and refreshing idea to offer one-of-a-kind originals!  

 Thanks for taking the time to look into who we are.

Why not take a few more minutes to check out my website as well!
