the thank-you-for-being-awesome giveaway

today was an especially soggy day here in philadelphia, so i was not able to photograph the shoulder bags i was hoping to add to the shop today (i take all of the photos outside).

however, as promised, here are the details of the thank-you-for-being-awesome giveaway.

first, the bag. i call it a-hint-of-houndstooth shoulder bag, and features a charming mix of vintage and new fabrics in various shades of beige and brown, just in time for fall.

thank you everyone!

    Katie,
    Your work is so unique and wonderfully beautiful. I love my made by hank purse and have bought a few others for friends who love them just as much. Canada loves MadebyHank!! I am so glad you got into the handbag business. I agree with Mary who said its always an adventure trying to get one of your bags before they are all snatched up. Congrats on all your very well deserved success!!
