So yesterday, I was at this amazing conference all day, and I gave a talk about building an online community. Well anyway, the conference was great. Some very inspiring speakers and great people hanging out. The only draw back was lugging around my already huge purse and the freebies that were given out along the way. I saw a few ladies with some cool “business-y” type purses. So, I started thinking about a heavy-duty bag that could lug around even more of my crap. And I remembered WhiteSycamore.
PNS has been lucky enough to have WhiteSycamore as an exhibitor for the last few months, and I love the handmade (luxury) leather goods in the WS shop. Each piece is made completely by hand, right here in the USA, by experienced leather artisans. Leather can be a difficult material to work with, so I am even more impressed with the workmanship of each bag. But if I had to pick just one as a favorite, I would definitely go with vintage-inspired briefcase / book bag. It has a great shape to it, and (of course) it’s hard not to love the vintage style. At least for me.
Visit WhiteSycamore on Etsy for more leather bags and accessoires.






































Wow! I love these. I think my favorite is the messenger bag.

Great meeting you at the amazing conference yesterday. Your talk was one of my favs. As far as the bag goes, I adore the first one. I can practically feel it in my hands right now! Lovely.
Jeannie Greenwald commented on January 13th, 2011 at 1:36 amHi Jeannie. It was great to meet you as well. The conference was so much fun. And I am glad that I went to the after party because I got to chat with so many great people (like you).
And as far as the bags are concerned- the first one is my favorite too! Its super practical, but still looks cool. Have a good one!
