About Bags of Distinction

Bags of Distinction

From Harpist to Baglady !

Until 2017 I had been working as a professional harpist and time for any needlecraft was very limited. Then, for health reasons, I had to give up on my harp playing, and decided to give more time to my love of sewing. I come from a long line of skilled and expert Irish needlewomen so the craft was in the genes !

It all took off when I found some beautiful music themed fabric in Germany. I designed and made some tote bags and they sold out online and at markets in a very short space of time. From that beginning, I began to source other fabrics from abroad, always looking for high quality in both design and texture.

Creating new designs and items is very similar in a lot of ways to life in music - you come up with a new idea or theme and with practice, it becomes a perfect piece to set in front of the audience or buyers. I make prototypes of new items and they do not go on sale until they are perfect. As with music performance, great attention has to be given to every detail. Similarly, every sale or good review is the applause !

Every item is designed, created and handmade by me.
Keep an eye out for updates and new products that are great gifts for yourself and your friends and family.
