Emilie Sloan is coming out with three new fabric patterns for Spring 09' and this is one of them being made in the silk screen process for our samples. Can't wait to have them on the bags and in stores for everyone to see!
We have four new bags coming out at the end of October and I just received this video of my cosmetic bags being made. What a treat to see the process and the excitement that they are almost here!
I went with my Mom last night to the Westin in downtown Seattle to attend the Nellie Cashman Business Owners Award Ceremony. It was so fascinating to see all of these amazing women who have built up construction companies, PR firms and a multitude of other random businesses that have been extremely successful. One business owner I was really looking forward to seeing and hope win was, Lee Rhodes of Glassy Baby - I have many of her votives and I just love them. Lee won last night! Check out her candles and her story.
Isn't it every girl's dream to be a bag designer? Well, it has always been mine! So, I recently started a new tote bag company, Emilie Sloan, named after my two daughters. Starting my own business has been an amazing journey! From making the bags in my home sewing room to finding a company to produce the bags, getting the bags in the stores - the process has really been fascinating and rewarding! Seeing people around town carrying my bags still makes me pause and pinch myself. :)
On the personal side, I love designing and sewing purses/clothes, gardening... I'm a typical wife and mother of three great kids; Madison Sloan (18yrs), Emilie (14yrs) and Logan (8yrs). We live in an older home in Seattle, WA, near many family members and great friends.
