A New Bekka Bag Added to the Family

Most of you know by now that I not only love handbags, but I make them also. I recently had a request for a handbag by a special person, Mi Madre! She needed a new black handbag and she knew where to get one. Now she didn't want anything real difficult or all extravagant. She requested a simple design for everyday use that has a long strap for her to carry on her shoulder, two handles and a few exterior pockets for her phone, glasses and keys to be easily accessible. So, what did we come up with...

Leather Paper Bag Tote

Another Tohni Bekka bag has been made, this time it's a Tote!

As you know, I love handbags! I have mentioned before that I love the silhouette of a barrel handbag. Even though it doesn't have compartments (which you can add when you make your own bag) but for women who keep a pretty organized handbag or don't carry much, a barrel will suite you just fine.

I designed a handbag with this silhouette inspired by a 1950's handbag which belonged to my grandmother, Helen, who passed when I was younger. I kept her bag in my closet for over twenty years. I don't remember when it came into my possession, all I know is that it belonged to my grandmother and I felt like I had a piece of her with me. It's not a designer handbag but it belonged to her. It was her handbag that she carried her special stuff in and contained the things that she held close to her. So I took a shape I like and her bag and created this...
