I honestly don’t even know where to begin. ❤️

A HUGE thank you to Recycle Santa Fe and, most importantly, to every single person who came out this weekend to shop, say hello, and support local artists and small businesses.

This was, without a doubt, the BEST two-day show I’ve ever had in my 12 years of doing this. And that is a testament to all of you who continue to show up, shop small, and support independent artists and makers. It means more than you know.

So many Ami Bags are heading out into the world this week, soon to be wrapped up and given as Christmas and holiday gifts. The wristlets were a huge hit, along with crossbody bags and zip wallets. Just thinking about all those pieces finding new homes makes me so happy!

Being a one-woman small business, weekends like this remind me why I love what I do. The hours in the studio, the early mornings, and all the making are worth every minute when I get to meet the people who appreciate and support my work.

Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU for making this such an incredible weekend. I am feeling very grateful and very lucky. ❤️

Next up: Rail Yard Artisan Market this Sunday in Santa Fe! Hope to see you there!

SHOP SMALL. SUPPORT LOCAL. IT REALLY DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE

11/06/2026

The last few days have been 4 a.m. wake-ups, coffee, and in the studio by 6. I absolutely love making bags, but I think I’ve officially forgotten what the outside world looks like! 😂

I’ve made more than 60 bags in the past week, really pushing myself creatively and using my beautiful leather remnants and repurposed fabrics. The result? Lots of new one-of-a-kind crossbody bags, zip pouches, and some really fun pieces just in time for holiday gifting.

Come see me this weekend at the Recycle Santa Fe Art Festival!

📍 Santa Fe Community Convention Center
201 W. Marcy Street, downtown Santa Fe

Saturday, November 7 | 9–5
Sunday, November 8 | 10–5

Come shop small, support handmade, and find something truly one of a kind. Can’t wait to see you! ❤️

Holiday market season is here! 🎄 I’ve been making lots of new bags, wallets and smaller gift items, and I’m excited to share where I’ll be over the next eight weeks. I hope to see some familiar faces in Albuquerque and Santa Fe!

Everything I make is one of a kind. I love working with different colors, leather and unexpected materials. For the Recycle Santa Fe show in particular, I’ve been incorporating lots of reclaimed fabrics, leather and other materials that have made their way into my studio. It’s been a fun, creative challenge!

I’ll also be sharing photos and videos of new pieces each week for those of you who aren’t local. I’m always happy to arrange a purchase and shipping.

This is such an important time of year for small businesses and independent artists. Thank you for supporting what I do and shopping handmade. I’m going to be busy, but I’m really looking forward to it! ❤️

And if I’ve missed a date or gotten a detail wrong on the schedule, let me know!

Hope to see you out there! ✨

✨ Sunday at the Railyard Artisan Market! ✨

I’m here in Santa Fe today from 10–3 with lots of new pieces! 🌈

I’ve made a bunch of new color-blocked leather crossbody bags and wristlets, including some slightly larger crossbodies, new color combinations, and plenty of fresh pieces to choose from.

This is my only market this week — I’m skipping Tuesday Market while I work on a wholesale order for Array Home. But I’ll be back here at the Rail Yard next Sunday, too!

Come by, say hello! 💛🩷💙💚

Last day at Cathedral Park! 💛 I’m here today from 10–5 with all my colorful bags and accessories.

If you’re in Santa Fe, come by, say hi, and take a peek at what I’ve been making. It’s a beautiful day to wander through the park and do a little shopping. Hope to see you! 🌈

✨ I’ll be at the Santa Fe Railyard Artisan Market today (Sunday) from 10–3 with lots of brand-new crossbody bags and other fresh creations!

I won’t be at Tuesday’s market because I’ll be in upstate New York with my family, celebrating my mom’s life. ❤️ I’ll be back next Sunday and the following Tuesday.

If you’re looking for a unique gift (or a little something for yourself!), come say hi. And if you spot a bag in my posts that you love but want a better look, send me a DM! I’m happy to send more photos, and if it’s here at the market, I can ship it straight to you.

Hope to see you today! 👜✨

A fresh drop of my bags has arrived at Array Home on Guadalupe Street in Santa Fe! 🎉 If you’re in town, stop by and check out the newest crossbody bags, wallets, and wristlets.

I won’t be at the Railyard Artisan Market this Sunday or Tuesday because my inventory is running low, and I’ll be in the studio preparing a wholesale order for Duran Central Pharmacy in Albuquerque, which I’ll be delivering on Thursday.

I’ll be back at the Railyard Artisan Market next Sunday and Tuesday! 💕🙏❤️👜☀️🌞

The last month has been a difficult one.

After saying goodbye to my mom, we also had to say goodbye to our sweet little Giaco. ❤️ It’s been a season of loss, and I’ve needed some time to grieve.

Lately, I’ve found my way back into the studio, and creating again has been helping heal my heart. I’m so grateful for the comfort that comes from making something with my hands.

I’ll be adding new one-of-a-kind crossbody bags to my website very soon, and I’m also going to be better about sharing new creations here on Instagram.

You can always find me at the Railyard Artisan Market in Santa Fe on Sundays and Tuesdays, and I’ll keep posting new bags online for those who can’t make it to the market.

Thank you all for your kindness, support, and encouragement. It has meant more than you know. ❤️

🤍 Sunday: 10:00 AM – 3:00 PM

I’ve been busy creating new leather crossbody bags along with fresh one-of-a-kind pieces!
