Grand Opening

Welcome to my blog about my exciting new business!  With the help of two fabulous friends and an amazing husband, I am pleased to introduce Over The Shoulder Handmade Handbags and Accessories.


I have an obsession with handbags and accessories which began at the age of about 18. This is when I finally stopped wearing the preppy clothes required in my private school high school and discovered myself. I am short and curvy, so I tend to wear all black and then use my accessories for color and fun. Stilettos are a must in my wardrobe and I always wear Coco Chanel Mademoiselle fragrance to feel elegant.  I love jewelry and mixing different pieces with stylish textures. My favorite designer is Coco Chanel and favorite actress is Audrey Hepburn.  Love the classic designs and clean lines with a little embellishment.  


This being said, I have started my sketches and am getting my favorite patterns organized to start my new line. Fabric selection comes next and convincing my mother to borrow her sewing machine. Thank you Shannon and Sarah for the support and ideas!
