it's funny. I never set out to be a world changer... not like Karim Rashid, who wrote that book "I want  to change the world" and believe me, I think his designs have...

and yet... in my own small design place, I would like to think I am doing a little part.

I worked for 6 years at a huge manufacturer that had a 0% waste policy. Somehow that got really engrained into my psyche and I just couldn't bear to throw away the scraps of ribbon and material that were left over after we were sewing the skirts... so Libby Dibby bags were born.

I designed the DoHippy myself, but I've also teamed up with an amazing purse designer that I randomly met and have since become friends with who takes my scraps and makes the most amazing creations from them!  She's to be credited for coming up with all the handbag designs, and though my name goes on them eventually, she's the real brain and fingers behind all the little details. I serve as the inspirer... I guess... "hey, can we try something a little like this?" and she shows up with these works of art.

And so, we change the world, one bag at a time together... with 0% waste and a lot of love and creativity.

they're here - they're online and they are SO fun.

I love the dohippy for a carryall - it's even better in person than all of the sketches i made of it....  It's been something I've been thinking about for a year at least... and here it is!  So fun.  The functionality of it is awesome and the bolt snaps give it an edge that is super cool.

and I have been carring the saddle bag for about a week now and I like it more every day. The function of it is so great.  It's a little bigger than what I had been carrying and yet it doesn't feel big. It's totally comfy and sturdy and I think it's a great design.

I'm proud to put my name on these bags.

I've been busy lately!

In getting ready for the holidays, we're getting ready to launch a new line of bags (by popular demand!). We're taking the "shirt" icon off the website and replacing it with Libby Dibby Bags... The shirts may make a reappearance later on, but for now - this is what we've got coming.

By the way, the bags are SO cute. Some of them are patchwork fabrics (and reversible, of course) and some of them expand in size. I think you'll like.

If you want to be added to the list for our Christmas E-mailer, let us know - we're getting ready to send out a post about our Christmas Special!

Add us to your friends!

well, here we are...

I've officially made it onto myspace as a business and there's one more thing to cross off my todo list... what shall I add to replace it?

oh, maybe something like "eat lunch" - that would be good.
