If you can remember a while ago I designed those iPhone wallet necklaces…and now it was time for a purse that could fit the iPhone 5, plus a little wiggle room. Meaning you can fit more stuff in there, and wear it as a purse. You can see the older iPhone 4 bags, and visually [...]

New in, snakeskin calf-hide purses. Slightly updated versions of the original envelope designs. Right now I love these chain straps, kind of thin but still strong, and these are detachable so you can carry it as a clutch. And these closures are finished with leather cords, but actually it’s more for embellishment, the real closures [...]

Photo above features Camo leather lunchbox bag by Logan Zane, and the new Samsung Galaxy Camera phone. Did you know recently I lost my phone, was really torn up about that, it was the iPhone 4 and so I was forced to make a decision. Get the iPhone 4 again (a new one that insurance [...]

Recently I’ve noticed a surge of women not taking to purses, leaving more at home, and only bringing essentials. You may think the items in my photo below are my essentials. They are not actually. Or the cigarette box and lipstick are not, haha. The box and lipstick are shipping necessities for the Motovest. As [...]

This updated design is another spinoff on those crocodile bags, remember those? When I went to Staples for inspiration? Well this time I had to go all black on black on black, with those crocodile style wallet necklaces… Now I had to follow a similar design strategy to that same post, to treat this crocodile [...]

It has been quite a long time since I first thought of the idea behind this post. Do you remember when Steve Jobs passed? (Yes that was rhetorical, sorry)…. I planned on doing this whole tribute post, designing accessories around all of the beautiful gadgets he’s created. But I can’t rush such things, everything needs [...]

When I first created this wallet necklace style, I just had one simple idea in mind. To find a solution for a personal problem of mine. Always running around like a crazy person, or working like a crazy person, I need to have important things like a credit card, keys, and cash close by. And [...]

So, how was everyone’s New Years? All I can say is that I’m starting this year off slow and simple. This post and the design is pretty light but that’s exactly how I want to start off. I have some other projects I’m working on that are unrelated to this blog so give me some [...]

For a while I had all these gorgeous crocodile skins at my disposal. As I kept getting new ideas for other materials, these precious hides just sat in my studio, what can I say? I was empty on ideas for how to proceed…in fact I wondered, why did I even buy these? Well, fast forward [...]

Went on a little vacation, completely emptied out my bedroom (threw out everything except for the extreme essentials) and because of the heat wave this past week I lost 10 lbs by default-I’m feeling very light. It’s been so hot that the thought of eating anything grosses me out, which is why I couldn’t even [...]

Things I’m thinking about: Changeability and lighter designs for spring. Changebility to me just means designing something so that the wearer can customize it to their liking.. …Some new mini mink tails I’ve designed for this season..Loved this fine grey mink, I was originally going to use it for one jacket but decided to create [...]

I was stressed about packing for an upcoming trip, especially with having to bring my laptop and several cameras and it occurred to me that since I won’t be packing any electronics into my suitcase (it always gets stolen at the airport) I needed one bag that could hold these things without the fuss. On [...]

Nikon D90 camera bags are now available for pre-order here, in brown, black, or leopard print.

It occurred to me recently that I spent a good deal of time thinking about how to make an iPad bag, yet the iPad is a lot less important than my Camera. I’ve been wanting to make a camera bag for a while now, I take my camera out as much as I can…. A [...]

I was recently gifted an iPad (very ironic because a while ago I had been running around the week before my friend’s wedding to get her this and they were SOLD OUT everywhere) and even though I still think its a giant iPhone (or a laptop with no keyboard) I decided I’d make the most [...]

The stingray I used for this clutch had this center white mark, which kind of reminded me of an eye, I decided to play off that and use it as inspiration for this bag… Some materials, studs, inspiration images.. I focused more on shape for this bag, wanted something ovular to play off the naturally [...]

The weather has gotten so hot that while I was designing this bag I thought of words like “cool” “fresh” “icy” and I kept all these words in my head while I was making it. I wanted it to be a small/casual bag for summer time. The chains are actually aluminum covered in oxidized …
