Introducing all new leather purses, wristlets and clutches






So I thought I would try something different with the photography of the new leather bags to show case their sizes better, and that was to model them myself this time.  I think it gives a better idea of what the actual size is that you are purchasing.  It was kind of fun and funny to do... set the timer, run and pose quickly for the camera hoping that I was hitting my mark to make it into the picture.  You'll be seeing more of me in future shots... that is more shots of me in pictures not exposing more of me. LOL :)
To see these new beauties go to the SHOP HERE!
Off to do many things.  Happy Monday!
Cheers!

Time flies when you're having FUN! :)





Where has the time gone to over the last week and a half since my last blog post, oh yeah, I've been buried in my studio designing like CRAZY!!!!  Just look at my poor studio it's a mess from the madness of creating, but ohhhhh it was so much fun, exhausting, but fun.  Every day was filled with printing, designing, cutting and sewing new designs in leather for the shop.  My studio has the wonderful smell of a leather shop.
Also over the last week and a half I've been very busy making and sending birthday gifts and fulfilling many orders, Yippeeeee, one of my bags is actually going to Bahrain as you read, how incredibly exciting to be going around the world with my products and designs!
This messy studio has already been cleaned-up and I spent the day photographing all the new bags for the store, just give me a little time to sort and post them to the shop.
Have a spectacular weekend!!!
Cheers,
Jacque:)

Quick sketch









Just a quick sketch to play around with the photo I took of a new purse design that I posted in yesterdays blog.  Working on new creative marketing designs to use for PR to market Jacque Pierro designs and Pierro Studios.
I'm designing and making more purses and pouches in warm earthy browns, grays, black and navy for the upcoming fall/winter season.  I need Pierro Studio elves to help out with the dailies going on, maybe I can bribe the furry kids to get on board.  I'm going to need more treats for convincing. LOL 

Happy Wednesday!

New purses with leather finished!







Yes, she is off the design table and fully assembled into all her glory... accept for one little problem... the zipper and it's leather zipper flaps are to long for the bag.  They worked just fine in the cloth purses that I made but with the bulk of the leather everything was just to tight.  So back to the design table for a little nip and tuck.  Other than that I'm really pleased with how the design turned out.  Since I have my trusty Seiko sewing machine I added even more padding to the structure to give her a full body.  And the leather.... the leather is super duper yummy, loving it, loving it, loving it!!!!  The good thing about her little zipper mishap is that she's mine now, all mine!



Oooop, it's a little tight and crowded in the zipper areas on the ends, but that's OK with a little redesigning everything will be just dandy.



And here's the new little beauty with her shortened zipper and flaps and everything is just perfect now.  I'll be photographing her and listing her to the store very soon.  Again, loving the addition of the leather to the bags, hers is super soft and scrumptious!




I've been flying through my supplies of silkscreened and dyed fabrics with all of the new bag designs, so I'll be heading back to the printing studio soon.  And for the rest of the day today I'll be testing a new leather that I purchased over the weekend to see if it's going to work in some pouches.  Pics to come soon.
Cheers!

Happy busyness today with working on the leather handbag that I posted about yesterday, a photo shoot for a blog submission, creative marketing design, and any other loose ends that need to be wrapped up.  Fun stuff going on in the studio!
Off to a busy, yet fun day!

Seven new designs!





I'm loving the addition of leather in my work.  I've been using recycled leather jackets that John has very generously donated and purses that I have around the house to add to these 7 new pouches that are just waiting for their leather and charm accents then they're off to their photo shoot for their modeling debut.  These new little beauties will be listed to the store front hopefully by the end of the day.  Shop them in the store.
Thanks John for your leather donation, I love working with your old jackets!
Cheers!

On the design table



I was up kinda late last night designing, cutting and laying out a new bag design using my silkscreened fabrics, leather, and a sassy faux leopard skin fur print.  As always I just love the layering of textures and patterns in my work, it's exciting, tactile and just fun to look at, as well as, put together.
Since getting the Seiko sewing machine I had to switch to these large spools of thread, how fun are these big guys?, they make everything feel so much more official with my work.
Super Wednesday!
