new colors to accessorize your spring

Saturday, March 12th, 2011

It has been a busy week in my studio – I’ve begun sewing a batch of brightly colored bags for spring!  I strive to incorporate reclaimed  or recycled materials into my designs, and these clutches are no exception.  In this new collection, you’ll find recycled leather clutches in yellow, orange and red, with more colors like pewter, pearl and bronze to come!  These new clutches also feature some of my favorite vintage fabrics peeking from the pleats: like Maude Marigold, and Seuss in Wonderland.  (Thanks to my facebook fans for helping me come up with the fabric names!)

Hooray!  I have just finished a new batch of cheery spring-like clutches in orange, champagne, cobalt blue, lime green and hot pink!  Get ‘em while while they last – many of these little beauties are totally one of a kind!

Vintage Indie – The Daily Swank

I’ve been on a mission to find a new handbag for spring/summer. My problem is, I’m finding so many that I want, including those from today’s Daily Swank.

Crystalyn Kae Handbags are beautifully constructed from leather and often include vintage fabrics. I’m swooning the top left Picasso Abstract Floral

I love how the smooth leather paired with vintage fabrics gives each handbag its own personality. Handmade from start to finish you can find various bags and styles including one of a kind and my favorite the pleated clutches. Visit Crystalyn Kae to find our more.


Crystalyn Kae: low impact, high-style handbags on Treehugger!

Today I had the honor of having my bags featured on Treehugger.com!  Wow!  I still can’t believe it.

That squeaking sound you hear? That’s me trying to scrounge together enough pennies for one of Crystalyn Kae’s luscious climate-forward bags. Handmade in Seattle from start to finish, most of the designer’s distinctive totes and clutches are crafted from patterned vintage textilesatomic-era barkcloth, florals, and prints from the 1940s to 1970s—that bashfully peek out from between the folds of her Soireé Messenger Bags and pleated clutches.

Also available are the boxy Metier Work Tote, sized and cut to fit your laptop and work files, and the roomy Troubadour Tote, its ruched surface dotted with silver metal rivets. The stage, however, has to be ceded to the curvaceous hobo, which comes in three designs: the vegan-friendly Topstitch and Monarch, as well as the newly released Bohemia, which features recycled leather corners on both vegetable-tanned leather and woven-fabric permutations.

Each bag includes a one-year workmanship guarantee.

Please check out the feature on Treehugger, and  let them know how much you love your Crystalyn Kae bag!
