This is where it all started

The Neeley bag (aka bike bag, shopping bag, scooter sac, picnic tote, hands free, super adorable, I can play my guitar, blow my harmonica, shake a leg, cut a rug, push my screaming child, smoke a fatty, climb a tree, eat a burger, drink a beer, kungfu rally, casper flipping, picture taking, graffiti taggin', disco tech N9ne dancing, roller skating, PB & J makin', jumping up and down cause your team just scored the winning touch down, having no worries. Loving it, loving it, loving it. That's me. That's my bag.

Dia de los Muertos







">Recently i've been playing around with designing purses, as opposed to the bikeBags i make(which i will post some photos soon). I like using recycled materials. Materials with a soft texture. If this bag were a sweater i would wear it all the time.

First Zipper







This is such a fantastic bag, my first bag with a zipper close. For those of you who have successfully sewn a zipper into anything will appreciate this fully. I love this bag. It feels so comfortable and is large enough to stash all your "goodies", yet not too oversized that you feel uncomfortable. Love love love this bag!

First customized bag








This is a bag i custom made for a friends girlfriend. She told me she was very girly, and pink was her favorite color, and being a teacher she needed lots of pockets. I designed and sewed a really cute handbag that she loves.

"Hi Neeley,
I just wanted to say thank you for the amazing bag you made me for my birthday. I love the colors, design and all the pockets--which are very useful for organizer-freaks like me. I used it today for work, and actually already got compliments on it today. Thanks for your TLC and the best bag ever. You rock!
Sincerely,
Andie "
