See the beautiful bag in the top photo? I'm the extremely proud new owner. Ever since it arrived on my doorstep, I've been carrying it around non-stop. It's the English Tea Metier Tote, by local Seattle designer, Crystalyn Kae. For being a large bag that holds my entire life, it's surprisingly lightweight.
If you're looking for a new every-day bag, you must visit Crystalyn's online boutique and Etsy shop. Everything is vegan, believe it or not. Her animal-friendly materials include rare vintage fabric and canvas coated with glaze, embossed and stretched for a leather-like crinkled look. Super soft.
I've never owned a handmade bag before and I don't think I'll want anything else from here on out. Crystalyn's craftmanship is supurb. I'm already eyeing my next one... that cute little pleated clutch!
