** This giveaway is now closed. **
** Congratulations to Julie! **
I have a real treat for you today. How would you like a nice bag for the coming holidays? YES?
Young, trendy and urban. A fashion style that’s a sure hit! Whether you’re going shopping or doing school runs, the beautiful fabric will make you stand out of the crowd. Add to that, Paco and Lupebags are earth-friendly! It is made as natural as possible – no leather, no plastic, no vinyl, no synthetic, no “pleather”. They’ve created bags made with less junk but sexy and stylish and can certainly hold all of your stuff.
Celia Cruz, the designer had been thinking about the concept of Paco and Lupe for quite some time. Her love for sewing started when a skirt she sewed when she was 15 years old won 3rd prize in a sewing competition. Since then, she hasn’t stop sewing.
Quoting Celia:
I always carry a sketch pad with me just in case I get an idea. It starts with a doodle. From that, I make a pattern. Then I sew a prototype and maybe adjust the pattern a bit more. Afterwards, I make the real thing. Learning is what feeds my mind.
From their main site:
Paco and Lupe products are all 100% original and handmade. We use mostly biodegradable material without sacrificing quality, durability and style. Merging art and fashion to bring you our idea of original handmade bags and home décor that are all about the fabric.
Oh, they just don’t do bags, check out their main website. Celia is also featured in Handbag Designer 101.
MY PERSONAL FAVORITES:
I love all the bags available in her shop but because I am so partial with anything blue and chocolate, the Uscita La Cucina bag strikes my fancy.
Also available in their shop are cute pillow covers:
WHAT’S UP FOR GRABS:
One lucky winner will get to choose from 5 different designs: Penny Lane, Key Lime Pie, Chocolate Cake, Zaragoza and Sierra Madre! (each bag valued at $59-$63)
TEASER: Zaragoza (left) and Penny Lane (right).
See why I said real treat?
HOW TO WIN:
