New Sew What Maryse ARTbag Line Announced!

 Sooo... the wait is over! I've been very busy designing and creating bags which are now ready for market!

 Each bag is custom designed, made of "eco-leather" (an animal-friendly faux leather) linens and silks!  Handcrafted by me as I travel. USA!

I've designed these responsibly with reclaimed fabrics, trims and faux leathers from wonderful design showrooms in San Francisco. I am continuing to create ART for the individual in all of us! Please check my etsy shop at http://www.etsy.com/shop/SewWhatMaryse  The grand showcase is coming soon!
