Cinnamon Cooper has harnessed her youthful energies and thrown them into a venture she likes to call
Poise.cc. She has never shied away from a challenge, so when the idea of a purse-making enterprise popped into her head, it only seemed fitting to try. The business name is a play-on-words of sorts. Pronounced with a soft “s”, it is what you might hear someone call a handbag, but more commonly used to describe someone who is composed and balanced. This combination was perfect for what
Cinnamon wanted to convey with her work. Each purse is originally designed specifically for someone special and then replicated for sale on her website to use the extra fabric.
When Cinnamon’s friend Lauren came to her in search of a tote bag one day, she chose a swatch of this fabulous spirograph fabric & this is what evolved! The exterior is made of upholstery-grade fabric while the coordinating rust colored interior is lightweight cotton. Peek inside and you find a handy 9×6 zippered pocket. The complete piece measures 13×13x4 so will go with you wherever your day takes you. It was love at first sight for me when I saw this gem!
Make a feel good purchase at Poise.cc – $10 from the sale of each spirograph tote is donated to CASA Central.
Canadian designer,
Christi York, is using her talents to please the eye and environment. Not bound by any particular craft, her work spans from graphic to accessory design. I find her creations speak of her personality and show a sprightly spirit, sense of humour & appreciation of the earth around her.
BuenoStyle’s mandate of “You don’t have to look like a hippie just because you care about the environment” is bound to have appeal for many.
Christi likes to incorporate recycled elements wherever she can and that adds to the individuality of each item.
With a body of precious pinks in 100% recycled felted wool & vintage beads this bracelet is sure to be a hit. Each bead is hand-rolled and threaded over clear elastic string. For the finishing touch, your bracelet will arrive complete with its own hand tag with the uber chic
BuenoStyle logo on it. The bracelet pairs perfectly with a t & jeans or adds funk to your evening outfit.
A special offer of “Any 2 felted bracelets for $16.00” is available through their ETSY shop, so go ahead and treat yourself!
