Bright Beginnings

It all started out as a fun little Christmas present project last year and has blossomed into an exhilarating hobby that I've aptly named Bragg Bags. They are trendy, fun and self-expressive purses in square and bucket shapes that seem to have caught on like a wild fire here on the Central Coast of California.

I made about 10 of these bags for Christmas as gifts. Family members loved them so much that a couple wanted to sell them at their store (Donna & Kim...if I can ever keep enough from being sold when I make them, I'll send some your way). Friends and friends of friends loved them so much that they've kept me busy making them. I even already have an order for four from one customer for Christmas. Who would have thought, some 25 Bragg Bags later that I'd be blogging about it.

Let me know what you think of the blog when you get a chance.

The Envy

The "Envy": a truly unique bag that is as versatile as your day is long. This is the first of three possible looks for the "Envy".

To get the second look, you simply turn the outer bag inside out and you instantly have a new bag.


Finally, if you want to get to the third look, just remove the outer shell and go with the single bag. This truly amazing configuration was discovered by Jennifer's sister-in-law Charlotte.

The Bucket and The Square

The Bragg Bag on the left is the "bucket", and the one on left is innocently known as the "square" (which in no way makes a statement about the carrier).

Each bag comes with an inner side pocket to carry your essential "got to get to it fast stuff." The bucket is approximately 13" across the top, 9" across the bottom and 13" deep. The square is surprisingly 12" across and 12" deep (go figure).
