Maggie Whitley Designs : Caroline-Made Basic Pouch

Apr 16, 2014 Stephanie

Caroline-Made is the latest in handmade beauties from designer, Maggie Whitley of Maggie Whitley Designs. If it sounds familiar, Maggie formerly blogged and sewed under ‘Gussy Sews.’ Her signature ruffles won me over long ago and she’s had quite the inspiring story of a woman in business and handmade seller.

Maggie Whitley Designs is now the home to The Gussy Club and Caroline-Made. 

Caroline-Made

This amazing handmade accessory collection features the Everyday Bag, the Pencil Pouch and the Basic Pouch. All are made with the most gorgeous fabrics – and sewn with the best quality and attention to detail. I love everything from the Caroline Made suede tag on the front of the pouch to the fabric lining.

When I saw the collection, I had my eye on the Pencil Pouch 201 (floral) but had to order an extra Basic Pouch (in blue) for my Spring giveaway. See, I thought of you all!

I’ll be using my Pencil Pouch as a clutch to throw in the diaper bag or my larger bag this spring & summer. It will fit a lot – some makeup, a pack of wet-ones for my twins, a KIND bar, my phone, lip gloss, my credit card and cash and sunglasses. The Basic Pouch holds a lot, too! While not as large, it’s still pretty roomy…see?

    My bag has recently been taken over by all the random things you just can’t leave the house with when you have a baby – diapers, diaper wipes, spit up rags, onesies, and pacifiers. I’d use the little pouch for all the things that are just for me! My own little getaway in my bag.

    I would use it to hold my must haves like chapstick, bobby pins and earrings.

    I’d use it for short errands to pick my daughter up from school, or to day outings when I don’t want my huge purse!

    I’d use it to keep my stuff separate from my son’s in the diaper bag. I always end up spending 5 mins looking for anything of mine that I need.
