I saw this in the most recent New York/New Jersey issue of weddingchannel magazine. M. Avery Designs in Hoboken, New Jersey offers “make your own handbag” parties either in their studio or at your home.

A host is also provided to oversee the entire event.

Each party allows for your guests to custom design the bag of their dreams choosing the style, the fabric and all the extras, just like on the website. Your custom bag creation is then manufactured for you by hand in the M Avery Designs studio and sent to you 3 weeks following the party.

Prices vary according to the handbag style, but they are very reasonable - this adorable Heather Envelope Clutch is only $32. Plus they’ll make it in reversible fabric for free so you can have a formal fabric on the outside for the wedding and maybe a different fabric for everyday use on the other side.

This would be a great idea for a bridal shower or bachelorette party. Or you could do this with your bridesmaids and give them the bags as bridesmaids gifts. So cute!
