frequently asked questions - general
Each purse is named after a work of fiction. We got a little sick of bags with women's names, so the brainstorming began. We were thinking different kinds of cake next, because who doesn't like cake. But then we thought we'd run out of names too quickly. What's the next best thing to dessert we asked . . . books. Now we haven't read all the books whose titles we borrow but we're working on it, meanwhile we just try to pick names that tickle us.
Each purse is painstakingly made by hand. We check all the seams thoroughly to make sure that they are super strong. Each yarn used is of the highest quality; they are strong and the dyes hold fast. The lining material is always durable cotton fabric. As knitted items can be damaged if they are hooked on anything, so can our purses, but these problems can generally be fixed easily. If they become dirty they can be spot cleaned using cold water and mild soap, and laid flat to dry. Try to avoid wetting the wooden handles or knitting needles.
