My friend Eleen, the girl that Jimmy was lucky enough to snag, has started her own line of bags. Her work is amazing and I’m still in awe of her talent. This is also a girl that pretty much made everything for her wedding, which included stationery, favors, and even her own wedding gown!! So, I was browsing her site, eleen.com, and found the cutest “skip around town bag” that I just HAD TO HAVE. When I told her that I wanted to buy it, she offered to make me my very own as a gift for helping with her wedding.  Aw…so sweet.

So on Friday, Eleen gave it to Jimmy who then delivered it to Jesse who then brought it home to me and I proudly wore my first eleen bag all weekend long. Check it out…

It’s made of ballistic nylon with an over-the-shoulder strap and made with the cutest fabric that has the Sho Chiku Bai rice bag design on it.

On top of that, get a load of all the cool details put into it: a lip balm/pen holder, inner pocket, and key latch. It also has a secret pocket on the side (see the zipper on the right?) to stash your phone, BART pass, or maybe some weed…haha, just kidding.

So, she’s still just a one-girl show working from home but if you want to check out what she has in stock, go directly to eleen.com or her online shop at etsy.com.  Kate Spade had better watch out.
