Wool-alternative Fashion Handbags and Unique Purses

We recently received an email from a visitor to our Web site that we wanted to share with all of you faithful blog readers.

The visitor asked:
“I love your fashion purses and would really like to buy one. I’m allergic to wool though, and I am wondering if you make any products out of other materials.”

This is a question we receive quite often and we want to get the word out that we in fact do carry wool-alternative bags for women with allergies. While many of our unique purses and fashion scarves are made out of high-end Noro wool yarns, we also carry many non-wool options. Many of our fashion purses are made of cotton materials and are an ideal alternative for someone with a wool allergy. In addition, we also offer worsted purses that are equally as unique and interesting as our popular wool handbags.

See you soon,
Sue Boyd and Doreen Newman

Unique Purses for Every Woman

Finding the perfect purse or unique handbag can sometimes be a challenge. You want something fun, but you also want something unique. We understand how you feel and that’s why we started making fashion purses and designer handbags. Of course, originally we just began knitting purses because we wanted to be able to carry an original and unique bag. It wasn’t until a few years and hundreds of compliments later that we thought about selling our unique handbags. And thus, PurseTime4U.com was born.

While we sell to women all over the world, we still get a great sense of pride when we walk down the street and see one of our unique handbags on a woman’s shoulder. And since we make each fashion purse to order, we know that our customers will never find the exact same bag in anyone else’s closet. We know that some people would argue with us, but we really do think we have the best job in the world. After all, we get to create unique handbags for unique women.

Holiday Boutiques and Sales! Unique Purses!

Doreen and I are finishing up our year with a flurry of local boutiques. Purse Time's last boutique will be on December 2nd at the Holiday Hearth Bazaar in Brea. It is hosted by the Brea Glenbrook Women's Club. We were invited to participate in this years boutique by the Women's Club, after they viewed our unique purses and knitted items at another boutique. We were excited to be invited to participate, as this is a very select group of participants and we are honored they thought our purses were so fashionable and unique. On November 28th we participated in the Fluor Corp employees boutique held at their corporate offices in Aliso Viejo, CA.

We will be taking a break to get ready for our Spring line. We are excited and have such great ideas, that we can't wait to get started researching new yarns and starting new patterns. Be sure to start checking the web site frequently to see what will be our newest creations.
