Owner Kelly Roberts was featured in the Women Artisans Feature of Sass Magazine, Winter 2017 issue for her handmade bags. In this article by Lindsay Smith Rogers, Kelly’s handmade bags are featured alongside fellow Frederick makers.
“In the past, artisans crafted many personal items and household goods, spending years in learning specialized techniques and advancing from apprentice to master. With the introduction of mass production in the last century, wares were cranked out quickly and more affordably, yet the cost of certain artistic trades. While we’re still living in a climate of mass manufacturing and big box stores, there’s a resurgence of desire for unique or bespoke handmade items.”
