Hey Friends, It’s been a bit and I appreciate ya’ll sticking around 😉 My story started with designing and making handbags which I have enjoyed for many years. I have struggled with the amount of hours it took to do everything and maintain a household with 2 kiddos. It took so long to cut, organize and sew not to mention all the social media aspects and everything else - my one-person businesses raise your hands 🙋♀️

Anyways, that’s old news 🤣 I have also struggled with waste and contributing to the textile aspect of it. I was buying raw materials to make new pieces, meanwhile, there were soooo many already existing bags out there! How do I fulfill my love of Bags (making) and my love of reusing/repurposing?!? A light bulb 💡 went off - I could use my skills/knowledge to rescue vintage/forgotten bags, doctor them up and find their new person.

I formally introduced the new rendition of S.J. Handbags … S.J. Vintage Bags & Repair. I am so excited and honestly, a bit honored lol to be able to have reached this level. It feels so right and very important ❤️♻️
