My personal purse signed by Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift signed this purse when I met her the first time after her purchase of a Diamond 57 purse. She has since received another custom Pink Lucchese complete with pink crystals, silver and a pirate skull concho! Gotta see it to believe all the attitude!

A lady from Redmond, Oregon sent me her husband's boots after he passed away to make into single boot purses for their daughters. Once complete she wrote a poem for each asking them to always remember the path their father chose and walk in his footsteps.
Another woman in Pennsylvania sent me her daughters first pair of boots. I add pink fringe and a pink belt with lots of bling for the handle. She now displays it in her room and wears it everywhere with a wonderful story to tell.
One daughter was surprised to get her old boots as a wedding gift! Her mother brought her old english riding boots to me along with her daughter's horse's bridle complete with brass name plates. I incorporated all of this to be a custom forever purse worth more to her than any words could express.
Military Boot Bag 
Life changes... and so do the boots!
Just when I thought I’d hit the high road and I finally know the direction should go.... the weather changes. Whirlwinds and big, fat snowflakes redirect my life - my perspective, and give me eyes to see a different, more rewarding path. I recently worked on a particularly challenging project, thanks to Tim Kelly. He sent me some old, rough boots to make into a purse for his sweet sister, Pam. The leather was stiff, folded in funny ways, and oh, those zippers! Big, thick, cranky zippers. They were determined to do whatever they wanted.
But I felt a deep inspiration to work with these old Military boots and help them to realize they now had a new, meaningful mission to carry out. You see, Tim's dad was a Major in the Air Force and flew the B-58 Hustler (which only had one purpose - to fly twice the speed of sound and carry a Nuclear Bomb). I understand the planes are as unpredictable as a wild mustang. The boots had walked on foreign soil, flew countless missions and walked a path of determination and devotion to our country.
I worked with the boots, stubborn and unforgiving; they did not like the idea of a "purse". Ok then, I decided I'd call them a "bag"! So much more bold and brave. They softened up a bit, but those stinkin' zippers were not so cooperative. I tried a dozen ways to get them to compromise. Finally, I convinced them to lie quietly, tucked inside the lining, promising them a wonderful adventure about to unfurl. The dog tags of this uncompromising veteran hang on the laces, as is customary for men at war. The Air Force Major pins are proudly displayed on each side of the bag. I know the legacy of this Air Force Major, and father, will never be forgotten. As Pam touches the leather, now a little softer, a new perspective and a new mission will carry on.
Hailey Tate's Custom Purse from her dad's boots
 Hailey Tate's custom purse made from her dad's boots and tassels from her pony's hair.
Hailey's dad purchased her first pony when she was just 5 years old. Together they loved to ride. Her father passed away unexpectedly when Hailey was 19 years old. He left hailey with all the wonderful memories they'd had riding together and an old pair of rugged boots. It wasn't long after her father's passing that her beloved pony pass away. Hailey wanted to preserve the memories of the 2 she loved so dearly. She sent me her dad's boots and a tassel of her pony's hair. I made the boots into a purse and had the pony hair braided into a tassel to be displayed on the front of the purse. This purse will remind Hailey of Happy Trails for a long time to come.
