We are moving to Tennessee!
Thank you to all who supported my business 😊

Happy Holidays everyone!

I just want to say THANK YOU to all my Manhattan area friends and clients for your amazing support of my alterations business over the last year.

Big changes are coming, and as of today I am no longer accepting new alterations clients in the Manhattan area. If you are currently on my books, or if I have already reached out to you, then you should not be affected.

UPDATE: This bag is now SOLD and will be making someone’s Christmas merry and bright!!
I have one more crossbody currently in process in the same colorway, so if anyone is interested please send me a message.
——————-
I have one NOLLA crossbody available for purchase just in time for Christmas!

I have been developing and testing my own bag pattern for the last several months.
This crossbody bag is made of genuine Portuguese cork leather and has a colorful cotton lining. It has an adjustable strap, generous pockets, and a locking zipper to deter pickpockets.

Purse dimensions are 8”x10”x2” - big enough to hold a water bottle and sunglasses case!

I chose Portuguese cork leather because it is amazingly lightweight yet durable, and has a soft velvety feel. Cork is also hypoallergenic, anti microbial, water resistant, and stain resistant!

In the new year, these bags will be made to order with several color options.

The NOLLA crossbody is priced at $119, with shipping available for an additional charge. Contact me for more information!

Latest project revealed!! My beautiful client Cynthia asked me to design an ocean themed dress for the Beach Ball held at the Beach Museum of Art in Manhattan, Ks. She supplied the glowing jellyfish tutu, turquoise wig, and accessories, while I designed the dress around the tutu!

The fitted taffeta strapless dress can be worn alone or with the removable organza skirt for future events.

Doesn’t she look amazing?! Love how this came together!

Thank you, Cynthia for providing this lovely sunset video clip 😃

NOLLA DESIGNS latest creation! This crossbody purse is made from natural Portuguese cork! I love the softness of cork and its anti microbial properties 😊. The top zipper pull locks to keep pickpocketers from getting to your valuables. The main compartment is very roomy yet the size of this purse is rather compact. Great for travel!

If you are interested in purchasing one of these custom made crossbody bags, just message me!

Here’s another example of what you make from an old wedding dress! You can stash items inside for the wedding day like jewelry, lipstick, or a wallet. When a coat or blouse is on the hanger, the pouch becomes a secret hiding spot for cash or small valuables. Makes a fantastic heirloom gift! More ideas to come 😊.
