Introducing our new Lizzy Guitar Straps! No they aren’t for a guitar, just inspired by them! I mean how cool are these icons! You may or may not know, but right out of college I worked at an alternative radio station in San Diego. No I didn’t go to college thinking I was going to … Continue reading
I get this question all the time, at events especially: What’s the inspiration? I think that being a designer who does events vs. just being sold in stores, woman are naturally curious.

Needless to say, I was so excited when I was finally able to come into the office and see how she ran her business. Since it’s a home office with … Continue reading
Have you ever thought about how unique leather is? Leather is not like fabric, it’s not woven in a factory. Leather comes from the hide of an animal.
