Think Spring!
It's my favorite time of year...no, not the weather (here in Ohio we get our fair share of snow and sleet)! But now it's time to purchase new spring/summer fabrics. While we're all counting down the days until the sun shines and the temperatures warm up again, it's a lift to begin designing new store samples for spring. Here's a glimpse of just a few...and there is much more to come! This season you'll see richer, more glam fabrics in our studio than ever before. There are so many beautiful textures including more with shimmer/sheen, metallics, and flocking. If you are custom designing online and can't quite tell the texture of the fabric you've chosen, just contact us and we'll gladly send you swatches. Textures often don't transpose well through the camera lens.
If you're looking for a way to beat the winter blahs, gather the girlfriends for a studio design session. Bring along your food & drinks and party with us. Design a new spring bag with some fabulous new fabrics and earn free store credit & discounts. Don't forget- if you host your part before January ... READ MORE»

Dorothy Lane Market Bridal Show

[/caption]We were pleased to participate in the Dorothy Lane Market Bridal Show yesterday (in Springboro OH). What a fabulous turnout of brides-to-be and vendors alike! Brides and bridal parties have always been a special interest of JennaClaire. We offer a vast range of gift ideas and the opportunity to create a custom heirloom bag for yourself that can be passed down from generation to generation. Here are just a few bridesmaid gift ideas:
- Darling accessories that you can design yourself with each girl's particular taste in mind: makeup bags, makeup brush rolls, small accessory bags, jewelry rolls, cell phone/camera case, kiss-lock clutch bags, etc.
- Tote bags to stash some smaller wedding-day essentials such as snacks, toiletries, or a small gift tucked inside. This is also a great gift idea for the bride as well.
- Handbags designed to match dresses for the wedding day. Did you know we have a large assortment of special-order silks, and we will also work with your fabrics? It's true!
- Monogramming for almost every product we make
And for the bride-to-be:
- Heirloom bags...what ... READ MORE»

It’s a Sister Thing…
- Designing Sisters
We were thrilled to meet Linda Miller and her two sisters. Three times a year they take turns planning a sister outing, and we were honored that they incorporated into their day a little custom handbag party at JennaClaire! You see them here with their gorgeous "Candace" designs - wow, they even chose the same style!
So if this story inspires other sisters out there to swing on in for your own studio handbag party- just give us a call! We'll be happy to set you up with your own personal design assistant, and you can even bring your own drinks and snacks. We're here to help- because everyone needs a little girl-time now and then.
From left to right: Linda, Karen, and MaryJean. Thank you ladies, and we hope you turn lots of heads with your new Candace bags!
