Karras Leather is a craftwork studio situated in Psiri – the area in Athens that used to be the industrial heart of leather goods.It’splaced just a few steps from Monastiraki Square in the centre of Athens. I discovered Karras studio one year ago during a hunt for leather gloves. When I noticed the studio window with the real vintage styled bags, exposed with their original shapes and unique colours, I simply couldn’t resist and entered. Nice atmosphere, a traditional approach and marvellous items –was my first impression.

The moment I set my eyes on Star Bag’s collection it was love at first sight. Sweet, girly, oh so beautiful and vintage! Lovely colors, patterns and these flowers are so luscious and original!

The designer notes: “All our bags are one-of-a-kind or made in a limited edition due to the vintage and/ or repurposed materials we use for them. With some creativity alot of things can be saved and given a second life, for a better and greener planet.”

Don’t forget to check out Star Bag’s blog as well. They have a fantastic collection of craft inspired posts!

Welcome to the colorful world of Tracy B Designs. When I discovered this adorable etsy shop I just couldn’t stop myself from browsing through all of Tracy’s collection.

Whimsical, fresh, playful designs and beautifully combined fabrics transformed into beautiful flower pins, home decor, accessories and pillows! Detail is what makes the different and Tracy has an excellent eye for it.
