LA Adventures

So my mom is a fashion designer, ever since I was little I have been surrounded by fabric, sewing machine, to many pins ( I am actually afraid of needles so I stay away from her when she is cutting and pin fabric), and books notebooks and anything else that my mom uses for inspiration.
So when I hear my mom is going to LA to buy fabric I jump up and down and say I want to go. Not really for shopping though. I have this obsession with street food. When I go to Mexico its street tacos and tortas (Mexican sandwiches). When I go to LA its Hot Dogs. I am not a big hot dog fan, but just walking by one of these carts, it just captivates you. You want to stop and ask for one. And I am one of those people that do give into the smell and once you trying one, you will be hooked.



I also go for idea shopping. I have been looking for leather and other things to make wrist cuffs out of. Just one of my many ideas that I try to get done, but still get distracted by the fact that I am not always confident in myself. So I am trying though. I am gaining the confidence.

Look a like Bags

My mom has been taking me to LA since I was in middle school. She goes to the fabric district, to shop for fabric to make her gowns.

I have always loved the feeling of LA, Big city, people there aren't scared of being unique. I consider myself and my style to be unique, so I feel like I fit in there.


In trying to expand my business I thought that I might try selling look a like bags. These bags are not counterfeit exact replicas, they are legitimate knock offs. I didn't believe in selling something that first would be illegal and second that would be an exact copy of a Designers work.

As artists and Designers I do believe that one can take a look or idea and incorporate it into one's work, and try to make it there own. Some of these bags skate right on the border, but I found them to be cool, so I hope you do to. Click on the Bag page above to see which one's are currently available.


Thank you,
