COUTURE ME, please! is an option we offer to design and produce a handbag in the colors you love, the accessories you adore and the distinct look you desire.

You can add this option to any bag and we'll customize it for you. Please note that striping can only be done horizontally, to keep the bold look and integrity of our unique handbags. And yes, we can add 3, 4 or more colors to your design!
