My lovely sister recently took a trip to Rome, and she took some of her favorite Beeps' Peeps items with her. She is a frequent inspiration for my designs as she balances work, family, and friends with style and grace. I love to design with her and women like her in mind.
Now, without further ado: Beeps' Peeps goes to Rome.
Over the past seven or eight months, I have been developing a line of handbags called the
Lucia. The name of the line comes from a Christmas tradition in my family, the making of Lucia buns, that began when my sister played
Santa Lucia in a pageant. More on that some other time--I'd love to pass along the recipe.
The Mama Lucia is a great roomy bag with a zipper and lots of pockets. The fabric used here is
Lilly Pulitzer's Scales and Tails. It's a funky, atypical print from Lilly, a departure from her normal look. By the way, her new print,
Dark & Stormy, is spectacular.
Everyone in my family got shoe bags for Christmas--an adaptation of the bags that I made in the
drawstring bag tutorial. Meggan's was in this beautiful
Riley Blake fabric. It's always smart to carry an extra pair of shoes when you're in a walking city. You never know when your shoes might start rubbing you the wrong way! You don't want to cut your sightseeing short.
The
travel tray is a new item at Beeps' Peeps that is exactly the type of thing that's nice to have on a trip--lightweight, super functional, and warms up the hotel room a little.
Hope you enjoyed this postcard from Rome. Ciao for now!
