Fresh Today

I'm going away next week so I was inspired to create something travel related. I just made these great carry on bags. They are huge have 8 pockets inside and out. Could be used as luggage, a diaper bag, gym bag or what ever you need lots of room and pockets for. They are available in brown and blue.

I will have them up in both shops soon.

Turquoise Moccasin Slippers

I have been wearing the pair I made for myself (someone has to try the new stuff out) and they are really comfortable.

Pretty Diaper Bags

Attention all Mothers!!

I am in the process of creating a diaper bag. I have had quite a few women contact me over the past year expressing their frustration with the selection of cartoon themed bags they have to chose from. So I am making something pretty from leather that can be used as a carry on or gym bag long after your baby is out of diapers. I have purchased a few  cheaper diapers bags to see what kind of pockets and compartments you guys need but would love some input from Mothers.

So ladies, let me know what features you love about your diaper bag or would love to see in a new one. 

THANKS!!

Freestyle Sunday

Sunday is usually my favorite day of the week. I go out for brunch then head into work to create some of the ideas I have had floating around my head the previous week. Something about working on Sundays seems relaxing to me. I think because its the week end, I feel like Im working because I want to and not because I have to (even if I really do). To be honest, todays handbag design was all about me. In a few weeks I am off to my home away from home, Miami and I wanted something light and summery.

Louis- Handbag Security

Employee of the month, 24 months running; Louis has been promoted to handbag security. No one is slipping a handbag by this guy....... unless they have some bacon to share.

Made a little something on this Sunday afternoon.

I have been using the "Toya" style handbag recently and have been really liking it despite the fact that I didn't think I liked using bags with the extra long strap. Turns out its pretty practical. So I made one in this super soft shitake colour leather. Check it out here for US $$. Check here for CAN $$

My online shop is back to running smooth. I will be adding new bags all day. chachalifestyle.com Please note that all prices are in Canadian $$ My shop on ETSY is in US $$

Meet the newest additions to the CHA CHA family

After much, drafting, cutting, sewing, and picture taking, I introduce the spring/summer ladies. I'm having a few technical difficulties at chachalifestyle.com so please check out the new line HERE on ETSY. I really enjoyed making every single bag this season. Look out tomorrow for details on the new line, my inspirations, and an upcoming handbag giveaway. For now, I need to catch up on some sleep! Hope you like them!

Another new one; Toya
