On Saturday, added new dragon, haunted, Nevermore, Batik and Steampunk cross-body purses at the Shediac Craft Shop. Handy for carrying lots of items from cell phone to overnight items, from glasses to keys and much more. washable, foldable, great for travel. So unique in design (my own design) and a fabric design for every purse-in-ality! Also reduced price of all Market Bags (heavy duty canvas) to $40 no matter the size.

I just finished another hooked rug with a subject that has been a patient at the Atlantic Wildlife Institute in Cookville, N.B. BUT, it's already been SOLD. WOW. When my muses are wildlife that's been in the care of AWI at one time or another, I'm never short of what to make next. Thank you LC. It will be at the Shediac Craft Shop for you to pick up. Thank you also because the sale goes to support the work of the Atlantic Wildlife Institute , a charity.

Thank you for all of the support over a very long winter, we can’t wait to see all of you 🙌

My Story

Kathy With a "K" makes unique purses mainly from repurposed materials found in thrift shops. I enjoy spending hours in a thrift shop searching for materials I can use to create a unique purse. Whatever the design or fabric, every purse has an adjustable strap (the + feature for all sizes of wearers); are quilted, lined, pockets, many washable in cold water/hang to dry. Average sizes are medium (9x10" approx) to large (12x12" approx) depending on flap design. Clutch size is available. Denim Jean colours are mainly black, light/dark blue, occasionally grey or brown. I started making purses from repurposed blankets, blazers, suits and so forth. Go to my page Maker of Purses to view the vast array of purse designs and materials available.

Although my purses are not totally from recycled materials, most of the fabric in them such as repurposed jeans, jackets, blouses, curtains, pillows, belts etc. are from Thrift stores or donations from friends etc. . The #2 polluter in the world, second to carbon/oil industry and products (such as plastics) , is the clothing industry, especially the fashion industry. In the past, clothing that has not sold in stores was burned instead of lowering prices or recycling at thrift store locations. (See Forbes and other web sites for further clarification and information). So thrift stores and, in a very small way, my purses are helping to reduce global pollution. When you buy a purse from Maker of Purses, Kathy with a K, Grande Digue, you still get practicality, functionality, uniqueness, beauty, fun, wearability, reasonable prices while helping reduce global pollution. Someday, maybe, gov'ts and businesses will invest in repurposed, handmade, local goods. Take care of you and others.
