Charm Design Handbag Review and Giveaway

*This giveaway is now closed. Thanks for entering!*


I saw these adorable pouch-style handbags by Charm Design on Etsy and knew I had to see if I could arrange a giveaway for my readers!

When I spoke to Ranja, the artist behind these beauties, she graciously offered to send me a couple of bags to review before the giveaway. Let me tell you, Charm Design bags are chic! I must admit, I am a handbag-a-holic, and when I buy a bag, I insist on quality construction as well as great style. Charm Design bags exceeded my expectations. I am the envy of my other handbag-a-holic friends when I carry one of these bags.

I asked Ranja to tell us a little about herself:

1. Tell us a little about yourself.

Charm Design was founded by myself, Ranja Lee. I am a stay-at-home mom with two children. I was born in Japan. I started to sew when I was high school. I studied at the Vantan Design Institute in Tokyo and worked the children clothing company as a clothing designer for several years in Tokyo. I moved to Los Angeles in 1994, and studied Graphic Design at the California State of University Fullerton.

Now, besides taking care of my kids, I love to design and sew bags and children's accessories. I hope you can enjoy my piece of art!

2. What is your business and where can we find it?

I am selling handmade bags and children's accessories.

3. Where else can people find you?

I have a shop at ETSY only so far...
I'm trying to open my own site. It's under construction.

4. Anything else you'd like to share with us?

I am so happy to share my creativity and beauty of handmade with people all over the world. I hope to develop happy relationships with handmade lovers from all over the world.
