fun and flirty handbags

Meet Amy Kos of Dearborn, Michigan.  She is quick with the stitch, has a great sense of style and creates fun, flirty purses. We carry a variety of her lovely handbags at our Berkley location.

I had the chance to ask Amy a bit about her bags & business.

What inspired you to start creating art and how did you turn it into a business?

I’ve always loved art.  Growing up it was always a favorite hobby and to have art class in school was a plus.  Family and friends complemented my work whether it was drawing, sewing, etc.  They said I had a special ‘eye’ for it.  I started looking through books and magazines and craft shows realizing that I could definitely do the same type of work and make a business of it.

What do you most enjoy about the creative process?

I love when a project comes together.  Whether it’s the materials or the color scheme.  It’s a rush of energy that is exciting to me that makes me want to create even more!

What is one thing that makes your items unique?

Most of my bags are one of a kind!
