Handmade Birkin Bag Reveal, New Art Collection & a Crazy NYC Story

Birkin Bag Reveal, New Art Collection & a Crazy NYC Story I finished sewing a dream bag — a Birkin-inspired design made entirely by hand using a Babylon leather kit. As someone who loves sewing and craftsmanship, this project was such a rewarding deep dive into luxury details, from perfect stitches to structured leather. In this vlog, I take you through my new handmade bag reveal, a relaxing spa day with a friend, and a look at some Willy-Wonka style art that I bought. It includes some sewing creativity, family/baby cameos, autumnal cooking, and a crazy story about the bag's "maiden voyage"! :) *Ad disclosures: This video is not sponsored.
