Antibellum Wins the 2009 Independent Handbag Designer Awards for Best Handmade Handbag


After working tirelessly on the design at left (my hands were almost bleeding from smocking the center panel on this puppy!) my many a late night and amateur photoshoot paid off. My submission was selected as a finalist in the Independent Handbag Designer Awards!

I was proud of my design, but could it stand up to the intense scrutiny of judges the likes of Carlos Falchi and Lisa Smilor? I couldn't wait for the awards ceremony, but the suspense was killing me...The competition was incredible, both in my category as well as in all others. It was truly a worldwide competition showcasing amazing handbag designers from all corners of the globe...
