about polkadoodles

Call it a handbag, a purse, a tote, or just a bag, a polkadoodlestm handmade handbag (or bib, apron, or anything else) is different from anything you'll find at the mall! Isn't it about time? Add some polkadoodlestm to your life! Every polkadoodlestm handmade product showcases a love of all types of color and pattern, in fresh combinations for a contemporary feel. Every product is as sturdy and functional as it is beautiful, because as a mother, I know that for busy women, pretty is just not enough.

sample work

All of polkadoodles'tm handbags, baby bibs, aprons, and other fabric products are handmade, one at a time. There is no mass production here! Each finished item is unique and expressive. I use the best-quality, 100% cotton, quilting fabric, with occasional dabs of repurposed, vintage, or home decorator fabrics. A variety of interfacings are used for stability. All products are sewn in a smoke and pet-free home.

So what are you waiting for? Put away that black leather purse, and take a peek!

why polkadoodles

I believe that a few polka dots add a bit of charm and whimsy to anything, and I love swirling, twirling, vine-y, doodle-ish patterns...Voila, polkadoodlestm was born! You will find dots and doodles in most polkadoodlestm handmade handbags, baby bibs, and aprons, perhaps as a main fabric, perhaps as a lining or pocket.

“Can there be too much cuteness in one word?” asks Westchester County Business Journal (vol. 47 no.32, 08/11/2008; emphasis added), in reference to my business name. Of course not, Business Journal, and thanks for the mention!
