100% HANDMADE & HAND STITCH

Finally.. I've decided to post this rather unusual hand crafted canvas bag of mine. Yes, it's 1 in a Million bag... with my name on it. Not print. Not dye. Not drawn with water proof marker pens. Not hand painted........ It's Handmade + Hand Stitch.

Yes. Leen can stitch. I repeat.. Leen can stitch. With needles & threads.
What else?!! *haha, gotcha! *

This is the sketch...



After production.. *takes 2 days to stitch + cut out felt fabric....


Okaayy... confessions of an Impulsive Lass - i add on the Birdie last minute. =D




Leen made 2 handmade bags for Joey & Eliza too!

the end production of canvas tote

Good day, peeps! I just manage to spend some time - Redesign • Re-enhance • Re-image all the tote bags' poster for this page! Wanna do something different from the previous posters, where I did advertised on some fashion bloggers' page... *those are old posters*..... *teehee*
And... Gone are the Old ones, Came in the New ones !!!




















The square tote can be used as a laptop bag, any lappy with the size of 10-15" can be fitted in. Some of my friends and buyers use the square tote as a document bag! 
Fits A4 size documents & files!

The normal canvas tote is Perfect for any shopping day with friends and families! 
Or a beach bag, perhaps? =D



Thank you for your time to view chic&sleek's collection!

HOW IT ALL STARTED....


When i was sitting on my working station for this tote 'project' .....i was really thinking... What Designs to Come Out with ...or... What prints do people like & would attract them to buy my tote??
Hmm..... then I was like.... I want it to come from my Heart, Passion & Uniqueness !!
Of course, I did some R&D as well... *cheh, like some serious top secret project* !!! =D

Here's some of the very very first design draft....

- outline of the canvas tote to factory -


and some initial designs.....please don't laugh.... looks like a Kitchenette bag?? *lol*...


Hahahaha... nice? I like the hanging utensils & the hearty leaves!



this one in pink canvas fabric • rubberized print for eco-friendly environment,
unlike those ink chemical print! 


and the designs get more and more.....  *couldn't stop my hands & brain* !!!! Seriously, I couldn't sleep and was just thinking about more designs! ..@@...


Was having a hard time choosing between this 2 to go for production!! *arrgghhh..*
Now, when I dig up this file again... I will surely send the Birdie Plum tree for my 2nd collection!
AGREE ??? *hahahhaaahaha*


Yes, all these are out for production! *yahoo*

Now, I'll show you the actual design print for the Night Circus (right corner pic)....some say can't really see clearly the actual print.... hhhhmmmmm.....

Night Circus Print...
Now, why I named it Night Circus?? Cos the fireworks are displayed at Night time??
Hahahahaha! Gotcha!


Left : Paris Rendezvous     Right : MerryGoRound

Paris....ahhhh......romance, love.... That's my dream city! ...to shop all day & dine all night!
For this, I gotta grab along my Buddy - Michelle!! She's the 'purr'-fect companion for traveling and of course, we can quarrel over some combination of colours! Isn't that great?! .......-_-'''

One fine day, Michelle dropped by my studio... and as usual, she will ransack my print designs and coincidentally, factory had just made out a sample of the tote! And there she was.... hardcore modeling all the way with the sample.... walk left & right.... pose front & back.... bla..blah...blaa.... and she popped up this question :-
- "Eh, Leen... only 1 bag design? How about a S.Q.U.A.R.E one ???" *huh huh huh***.....

Yes, yes, yes,..a square tote.....like this :-
Left : Egyptian Pony • Right : TownHouse
Actually this square tote is the same size as the other tote design...just that they sewn it with a side gutter and it looked smaller... Fits all A4 documents and any laptops with the size of 10" to 13" or 14"....*gosh, there are so many lappy sizes nowadays!!* Faint...

Most of all the designs on the actual production, I really really really HEART this one:-
PINKJUNKLOVE !!!!!! Printed in Baby Pink Rubberized Ink *awww*

Hey... I really gotta pen off this Draft design stage & start showing the real actual bag! Stay on,  lovely peeps! Thank you for the great support! *hugs*
