Laura Bee Designs

Green = going vintage and buying from independent designers.

Laura from the fab Laura Bee Designs sent over a link to her gorgeous handmade bridal bags that incorporate vintage elements.  How beautiful is this Celeste bag?  This one piece satisfied all of the bride’s “somethings”!  The zipper pull is a charm given to the brides’ mother by the brides’ father on their wedding day, the flower was taken from the brides’ sister’s veil, and for the something blue?  A blue moire lining!

The fun bag in the top left was created from a 1920s silk skirt.  What a great way to recycle fabric!

Laura Bee Designs is Seattle-based and I think it’s so fantastic that she supports her local charities.  She rotates her fundraiser items and the current item is the Happy Dog Zipper Case, of which 75% of the purchase price is going to support the Seattle Pug Rescue!  It would be a perfect makeup case.
