Show Off Your Favorite Photo
with a Photo Purse!

Choose a favorite picture and let me design a custom photo purse that coordinates with it!

The photo can be of a family member, a group, a pet, a vacation, your wedding, whatever! I'll work with you to turn it into something you'll be happy to carry or give as a gift.

I can take your color photo and use it like that (full color) or change it into black and white, or sepia toned. Whatever you think you would like! I transfer the photo to fabric to use in the design of the purse. Maximum size I can enlarge the photo to is 8-1/2" by 11". All photos are returned in their original condition.

Photo Purses are fully lined and will have an inside pocket. Should you desire, I can make it totally from fabric for machine washing.

Pricing depends on the cost of the fabrics used, handle style chosen and hardware. I'll work with you to keep the cost affordable. Average price range for my custom photo purses is $35.00 to $45.00. If would would like your name, initials or a formal monogram, no problem! I can do that too.

Note: Photos deemed inappropriate will be refused.


Here's an example I call the "Dottie" bag made with a photo of my dog.

The purse is made from black denim weight fabric with additional fabric added to compliment her dalamation spots. The lining is red with tiny white dots which gives the interior a vivid contrast against the fabrics used on the exterior. The dot theme is carried throughout the design of the purse. The bottom and sides are reinforced to hold the shape.

If you are interested in having me design a one-of-a-kind purse or tote JUST FOR YOU, please complete the contact form on the custom services page. I'll get in touch with you as soon as possible and we'll start brainstorming YOUR new photo purse.
