Grace Design

Grace Design is an Etsy shop whose gorgeous clutches and purses made from vintage Japanese kimonos are exquisitely unique. Owner Alison, a designer living and working in Toronto, Canada, has a love affair with textiles and finds her inspiration from nature, the solitude of the outdoors and sunshine. As a self-confessed traveller in search of beautiful textiles, Alison sources fabric to use in her designs from as far afield as the Thar desert in Rajasthan, India to Tokyo, Japan. All her purses are individual and often her pieces are limited editions.

Gorgeous, right? I’m in the process of making a clutch in my stitch group and this is just the inspiration I needed!
