Fabrics and Colors Information

GORGEOUSLY DURABLE!  Our bags are constructed of sturdy 1000 Denier Nylon Cordura, using only the strongest hardware and strong YKK Zippers.  We double-sew all zippers, triple-sew all intersections and bind all seams.

Our straps and handles are heavyweight webbing.  We use sturdy upholstery fabrics for our accents and tapestries and add a lining to make it last even longer.

We handcraft all of our bags in our home in Colorado.  My husband cuts, and I sew everything, using heavy industrial sewing machines.  We pay a lot of attention to quality and never cut corners.

All my designs have come from the needs of someone in our family, friends or from customers.  And new ideas show up regularly!

TAPESTRY:  The bag you receive may not exactly match the bag pictured.  When we cut the tapestries/accent fabrics, we may cut the piece from different places in the pattern of the fabric.  Any two bags will not look exactly alike.  We believe that this is a more creative approach and results in many wonderfully unique bags.

COLORS:  Although we try our best, the colors in the photos may differ somewhat from the actual fabric.  This is especially true of the Purple and Evergreen Cordura.  Those colors do not like to be photographed.  If you desire samples of the fabric, just call us (303 421 2919) and we will send color swatches to you.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS:   The Cordura nylon base of most bags is very washable and the tapestry accent will tolerate washing.  Toss the bag into a washing machine, use cold water, a gentle cycle and a mild liquid soap like Woolite.  Then hang to air dry.  (Note:  Nylon is allergic to dryer and may shrink and cause the zippers not to work)  Now, if your bag is ALL tapestry (such as the backpack purse), it would be better to either wash it gently by hand or dry clean it.  Use cold water!
