Animal and Earth Friendly Designs, In Hand or Over the Shoulder
The culinary force behind much of the cuisine featured on extraVEGANza! is also a designer and a seamstress. Her current passion? Making hand and shoulder bags to show off her favorite fabrics and to find loving homes for cherished members of her ever-burgeoning antique button collection.

Bird Bag (Made to Order for Local Artist Erika Jane)

When Susan created this shoulder bag for Erika (who makes, among other things, sublime hand-stitched books and journals covered in posh cruelty-free fabrics), a beautiful partnership was born. On December 2nd, Erika and Susan will debut their BookBag line (at >>FWD on South Division), featuring books and bags to mix and match as you please. Stay tuned for details. A limited number of commissions are available, but please make your wishes known, as Christmas is coming and the Tofurky is getting fat.
