Lucky Magazine just spent some time shopping in Raleigh, North Carolina and, boy, did they ever find some nice handbags!
Holly Aiken is an up and coming handbag designer and has her own shop/studio called "Stitch", located on North Street in Glenwood South shopping center in Raleigh, North Carolina.
The totes, purses, diaper bags and clutches in buttery soft vinyl carry her signature look: bold colors trimmed in black webbing with funky details. The bags are refined yet durable, combining functionality and panache.
New York magazine in March featured the bags in its style pages, an endorsement that had Holly filling orders from as far away as Tokyo.
Still, making bags wasn't Holly's first goal. In college she was exploring metal and woodworking when she developed carpal tunnel syndrome, which made the work difficult. Wondering what to do next, she began fooling around on one of her mother's old sewing machines and cranked out her first handbag.
Holly Aiken bags are available at Hollyaiken.com.
