pizca




I think I've never uploaded any photos of myself as an accessories designer- more specifically as a leather handbag designer. It all started about three years ago, mostly in thought. I was in a class on weaving on an artisan's loom to create different textiles, and as I was learning I was thinking how great they would look on a nicely designed leather purse. So about a year after that is when the dream started to take form in reality, and my first collection emerged. I thought I wanted something different every time I created, so that a) every piece would be unique, and b) I wanted to experiment. Around a bit over half-a-year afterwards my second collection came into place, using Pre-Colombine pieces washed in gold in replacement of the textiles of the first collection. My third collection, which hasn't been out yet, is an introduction to the mixture between leather, silk and embroidery. The collection has been delayed, but I hope that sometime in the near future I can make it a reality as well :) Here's to hoping!

easter baskets!

Alexander McQueen. Knuckle Box Clutch. $2,195.
Rebecca Minkoff. 'Bombe Mac' leather crossbody clutch. $330.

Kate Spade. Bitsy crossbody. $195.

Lilly Pulitzer. The Golden Clutch. $128.


Well...not exactly Easter baskets but the title definitely appeals to the current holidays! I just had a well-deserved week in the beach for the holidays (say our 'spring break'), and decided not to bring the computer with me so I could have a real R&R! Needless to say, I got home tonight and have spent a good few hours on the computer! I've been thinking about a wedding I have in Australia in a bit over a month, and it's happening during their winter season. So, I've been rambling online looking for accessory options, and one of my concerns is the bag. I haven't mentioned that I'm trying to strive on the fashion world (at least the Costa Rican one!) with a small leather purse/bag brand called Pizca and I'm always in the search of inspiration :) So here I leave you with a small sample of my ultimate fairytales!
