Char terbeest kudla - GUEST ARTIST - STUDIO #1

Char's designs start in a sketchbook. Then she drafts a pattern, chooses fabrics, sews the parts together, turns the sewn parts inside out and the handbag is created. 

The Helen’s Daughters handbag business started in 1989between two sisters: Char, in Wisconsin and Mariella, in Minnesota. Helen was their mother. The handbag business honors her and all that she taught them about being creative, loving life and having fun. Char designs, creates and sews award-winning tapestry handbags, pocketbooks, backpacks, and purses. The handbags are plain to fancy, pretty to bold, and every day to special occasional –always useful and distinctive. Char’s work has traveled all over the world. Her work is collected and loved by young and old. Char's designs start in a sketchbook.
