Also, I had stopped taking names for the Plum Plaid fabric since I had run out of material. More has been found though! Yay! People already on the wait list who may have wanted that when it wasn’t available have first dibs. If you want to change your fabric choice, email me. There will only be a few available so it’s on a first-come, first-served basis. Email me at waitlist@kettihandbags.com if you want to make the switch.

I know this whole process of buying a camera bag from me is unconventional and can be annoying, but thank you for bearing with me. My time is split every which way between my family, this business and photography. Most days I feel it’s a miracle just to get myself and the kids dressed. And that doesn’t happen everyday, I admit! We are working hard to get things caught up and start selling online instead of having a wait list. But by we I  mean me, so it’s not going as fast as I would like. But it will happen

cheers!

It’s been, and continues to be, a lot of work. I appreciate everyone’s patience with me as I slave away in my own personal sweat shop! These bags are all cut and sewn by just two of us – if you knew how many pieces went into just one bag, you may die. It’s a lot.

There is a new process I’m starting for getting on the wait lists. Look over to the right. See under the Links heading? There is a link for Wait List. This takes you to a super short form to fill out, just name, email, and which bag you want. This form is the ONLY way to get your name on the list. I’m not accepting emails, facebook messages, or etsy convos. I’m trying to stay organized and make sure everyone gets taken care of
When your bag is ready you will be sent an invoice through Paypal- reserved bags will no longer be sold through etsy. If you want to pay by money order, just let me know and we’ll arrange it.

Ready to see what the new bags look like?!

I think this is my favorite. Ever.

Artichoke Heart

A very close second – another Echino print

Yellow Bird

This fabric has a bit of a sheen to it and is more lightweight than the others.

Summer Swirl

Back for round two, it’s the Echino bird print from a few months ago!

Purple Bird

And back from last fall… this was my favorite until the Artichoke came along. I was able to score more of the fabric, and have bought every yard I could find from 3 stores. It’s going to be limited, unless I can score some more. Love it. It’s a cream and plum wool.

Plum Plaid

Wanna peek inside? They are made with fuschia and celery linings!

And there you have it! Feel free to email any questions to waitlist@kettihandbags.com

And keep your eye out for some new fabrics making their debut by the end of the month

Thanks for everyone’s patience. I’m working on them as fast as I possibly can.

So this little bright spot of a bag is new and there’s a couple available right now. If it’s gone by the time you see it, I’ll have a wait list started so just email me {ketti12 at gmail.com}

I’m keeping the same fabrics in the mix for several months now, and adding 1-2 new ones each month. March’s new fabric will be available in about 2 weeks, so keep your eye out for that! It’s a fabulous orange and yellow – very fab for summer.

Look for a new, very limited edition bag this Friday! It’s fun and funky, and one I’ll actually be keeping for myself. I’ll only have a couple available for sale and don’t plan on making more of it.

And just for shiggles, here’s a promo picture I took this past weekend.
