Recommendation #4 - Pink Lemonade Boutique

It's been a while since the last recommendation. So if you haven't read the previous ones and don't know what this is about, I encourage you to check them out. Basically, I haunt around the net, looking for winning bags that I want to share with you. So this time it's not one bag that I'm recommending on, it's the designer herself, of Pink Lemonade Boutique. There were way too many bags in her Flickr's photostream that I couldn't choose just one. It wouldn't be fair to you, nor to the bags. So here are some pictures of some of the bags that I really wanted you to see:

When I encountered the photostream, I was definitely blown away. Lisa (the designer) has not only a designing talent, but also the eye. I was amazed at how well she manages to put the right fabrics together. She makes the right combinations. The fabric combinations make the bags "not shallow". They make them special. And that's the strongest part that I liked about Lisa's designs. I simply wandered around her gallery, having treats to my eyes, and was really sad when I got to the last page. Don't get me wrong, there are many bags there, but I couldn't help but wanting more. You know what it's like when you really like something and can't have enough of it.

In Lisa's bags, it's enough to just be depended on the colors and fabrics. It doesn't have to be a super original design, because the fabrics and their combinations do the job very very well. But there are designs that combine both, the design itself AND the amazing fabric usage.
I also really liked the variety, there is enough to choose from, yet you can't choose only one. They so different from each other, yet you can tell they're from the same collection of bags. And it's a style that I'm sure most people would like.
There are also the small details like bows, flowers, appliqués, which are damn cute.

Sometimes it's hard for me to find the right combinations. And sometimes I come up with a plain combination. With Lisa's bags, it cannot happen! I don't know if she actually works hard on finding the right ones, but to me they just seem effortless. Not the work itself, but the combinations, it looks like she's using her magic wand and pulls the fabrics out of her sleeve. Because it's just so well done.
She seems to have been experimenting in many techniques, and tries thinking outside the box, which I always like. She's bold, and she dares and does that with a big success. "Make it work"? She always makes it work! The last thing you could say about her bags is that they're boring. They're exciting, which is why I have so many things to say about them.

Lisa is now having a clearance at her Etsy shop, with great prices. I'm just sorry I didn't find her sooner, because her store is about to get totally cleared. But the store isn't closing, she's bringing new things which I have no doubt will compare to the ones she's clearing right now. The clearance prices are great, so grab them as fast as you can, and do drop by there again for the new collection:
