Handbags look a lot better when they have beads sewn on them, don’t you think?

Stampington & Co, publishers of Somerset Studio and Belle Armoire magazines among others, will be accepting entries for a few more weeks for a special publication called Haute Handbags, which will now be published twice each year! The deadline is November 15, so get out your supplies and get going! Here’s all the important information.

How do you carry it? That’s the question Somerset Studio would like to help answer through our new and exciting special publication titled Haute Handbags. Whether we use purses, clutches, totes, portfolios, sacks, bags, or attachés, there are many styles made with an astounding array of materials emerging from all corners of the creative world – all vying to be carried and used with style. You are welcome to construct a bag from scratch, or to purchase one that you embellish and alter with paints, beads, rubber stamps, ribbons, buttons, transparencies, and more. No medium or material is ruled out so use your imagination to make bags of leather, wool, fabric, paper, plastic, wood, glass, or any other materials that you love. Deadline for artwork to be received: Bi-annually every November 15th, and May 15th.
