The creative process

Ever wondered how we come up with the shapes or ribbons or adornments? Well it's a process that is part creative, part logistics , part response to customer demand and part availability .
Our eyes are always open, we shop, we look at magazines, we travel, we troll the web...we find inspiration everywhere. Some of our ideas come from such varied sources as antique jewelry , Christmas ornaments or door knobs. A good designer is always looking .check out andrea's pinterest boardshttp://pinterest.com/andreastieff/ to see what we mean .

It's not just the bags that we design,here's a doodle sketch of our kiosk at a gift show.
Sometimes we have happy accidents,like the story about the invention of chocolate chip cookies.That's how these ornaments happened.we had the critters hanging up for a trade show and I thought
" hmm they'd make fun holiday ornaments "
