Homemade Handbags - Creativity is Queen!

Are you looking for a quality handcrafted handbag but don't want to pay a fortune? Then check out Pookabokit Handbags for unique designs at fabulous prices!

This totally cool handbag store was started by a mother and daughter team. Holly (the Mom) started sewing about 35 years ago and has dabbled in such creative pursuits as wood carving and jewelry making. Beth graduated from college with a degree in Psychology and worked in retail management, gaining invaluable business skills along the way. These 2 teamed up for a winning combination and the result was Pookabokit.

The name may seem strange but, like all interesting things in life, there is a story behind it! When Holly was young, she had problems pronouncing words and the word "pocketbook" came out to be "pookabokit". The rest, as they say, is history!

My personal favorite is the Raspberry Silk, which has beautiful shades of raspberry and cream with creative decor trim. Check out this website and find your own personal favorite!
