I love a good harness scarf

So, I'm really excited about Antibellum's harness scarves - Just in time for the cold weather! Part giant cozy turtleneck, part harness, part...I'm not really sure - but they give a little edge to neck warmth! I'll be selling these beauties at Velita on Tuesday Dec 14th from 6:30-9!!

The Inspiration Station

2010-03-28T14:30:00.000-07:00

So, after having gotten completely settled into my new apartment, the time was right to focus on other secondary, though albeit still crucial, items for the apartment. I decided that with a dedicated corner for my sewing machine and leather working (a tall order in a studio apartment!) Antibellum absolutely needed an amazing bulletin board on which inspirational images and trinkets could be pinned. After scouring the internet, I stumbled across an apropo frame on eBay, found some cork, and called it a day! It speaks nicely to the vintage aesthetic of Antibellum.

Antibellum Does a Project for Singer!

As a result of winning the 2009 Independent Handbag Designer Awards, I was able to develop a pattern and instructions for the canvas tote at right. It was an exciting challenge, and I think this design is a bit more lighthearted than most of the things I do. I was able to collaborate with the wonderful team at Singer, who helped me put together these very comprehensive instructions. Enjoy!!

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

2009-06-20T18:57:00.000-07:00

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...
