I have always enjoyed crafting, sewing, and creating. Pair that with my interest in recycling fabrics and giving new uses to otherwise-rejected clothing items, the first Suvi Girl handbags were created in December of 2014 as gifts for some favorite people in Suvi’s Fan Club.
Following Suvi’s tragic death and the immensity of the void left in my life, I desired to pay tribute to Suvi and to harness the huge energy of grief. I turned to sewing, creating, and crafting Suvi Girl products. Using recycled, felted wool and other cast-out fabrics, every handbag is created with care and with intention. Much thought is given to choosing the color scheme, felting details, and sizing in order that each bag is both functional and beautiful. There is simplicity, uniqueness, and beauty in each handbag; and this is what Suvi Girl was (and is) all about.
Based in Duluth, Minnesota, products are made for the local Glensheen Mansion Gift Shop as well as for art shows and personal orders. Over the years, the product line has expanded to include backpacks, totes, accessories, and handbags in a variety of colors and styles. Each item helps to bring Suvi Girl’s story far and wide.
