cute with clutches...

Since launching my bridesmaids clutches in April of this year, it's become a pretty big part of my business. It varies, but I make about 25-40 clutches a week to keep up with these orders. I've loved getting to work with the lovely ladies that have chosen my shop to a be a part of their wedding day!


Last night, one of these ladies sent me the following photos:

First of all, how gorgeous is the bride? AND all her girls? And how cute are they in their mix+match dresses and burlap clutches! Love it!

Thanks Christina!

Also, if you're a clutch fan, whether it's for your bridesmaid or for yourself, there's a fun little clutchie surprise coming to the shop next week!

Loves and Hugs,

fabulooooouuuussss...

Ghetto fabulous is not a phrase I would normally use to describe my work. However, the latest addition to the Rachel Elise Etsy shop has me scratching the ol' noggin a bit.

This fabric is... shall we say... "off the chain".

A combination of two layers-- vinyl and mesh-- make this material awesome and awful and then awesome again. Best or worst fabric ever? I can't decide.

My friend Rachel was with me when I bought this fabric. I was on the awesome/awful fence about it and she said, "I don't know what you would use it for besides an entire clutch", to which I replied, "Me either. But I kind of want one." "Yeah, me too."

Sold.

yokie yokes...

Friends, I must apologize.

For a I have done a terrible thing.

I neglected the Yoke Tote section of the shop.

Yoke Totes had a stellar sales record during the spring craft show season,
but then they weren't selling super well for a couple of months.
And then I got busy.
And then I sold a few.
And then there were only three in stock.

That's just not right.

So this week, I made three more.

This little guy is already in the shop.

Doesn't he make you the most excited for fall?

And these two newbies:

will be showing up tonight or tomorrow.

There. All is right in the world.

Loves and Hugs, 

Rachel Elise
