Our gorgeous bags have arrived!

After a good-ish day at work, a great work out at the gym I came home to the fantastic news that our new shipment of bags had arrived.  And I LOVE them.  They look even better than I imagined them.  Gorgeous.  In fact, I'm struggling to decide which one I want for myself.  But hey!  Maybe I'll keep one of each  :))

Now, before you look at the photos, please forgive me.  Nat is the creative side of this partnership but she's away for the week and I really want to put these pics up because I know some of you are waiting to see these gorgeous bags! 

As soon as I saw this fabric I loved it.  And I love the finished product! $24

LOVE this one pink girl that I am :)  $24

The chocolates and pinks in this design is gorgeous! $24

 Hope you love them as much as I do!  They're available now and am happy to post interstate and overseas.

New shipment of bags has left Phnom Penh!!

The beautiful ladies at Empowering Cambodia have completed sewing our next shipment of bags and they have been shipped from Phnom Penh.  Both Nat and I are so excited to receive these bags. 

In October when I visited Cambodia, I took my wonderful friend Vy shopping to the Psar Olympic(Olympic Market) to find some gorgeous fabrics.  If you are a lover of sewing or creating, you would just love the Psar Olympic.  There are rows and rows of stalls selling fabrics at the most amazing prices.  The colours are so beautiful to see. 

Beautiful Colour Everywhere
 With Vy able to negotiate me some wonderful bargains for some gorgeous fabrics, I had a fantastic time imagining the beautiful designs Nat would come up with!

Then I had the privelege again visiting the ladies of the Sew Empowered project of Empowering Cambodia.  It was lovely to see them again and be able to talk together about what juet srey aims to accomplish.

Our bags will arrive this week so watch this space for news of their arrival!!
