Fashion Slow Lane!

On a few of the new designs I added a bone plate hangtag, which is totally removeable, but I am not sure about it. I mean I am not sure if it looks cheesy or cool or what.

So  many designers are afraid of showing their products to the masses for fear of being "ripped off" - this has never been a fear of mine, because I as a designer everyone is inspired by different things, and my latest creation came from a junk store in Seattle.   I saw this old bag sitting up high on the shelf about 15 feet up on the wall in the back of one of the junk stores where you can sell your clothes for $2 and buy used clothing for like $10..those places smell to high heaven b...
