Heathered Hues of Spring
Spring colors arrive like a gentle promise. Soft blush, tender sage, airy sky blue, and buttery yellow awaken the senses after winter’s hush. They whisper of good things to come—of longer days, warm summer breezes drifting through open windows, and gardens just beginning to bloom. These hues feel like possibility itself: light, hopeful, and quietly joyful.
In the woven textures of Harris Tweed®, those spring tones take on even deeper meaning. Flecks of heathered lavender, moss green, and sunlit gold echo the landscapes from which they’re inspired—rolling hills, wildflowers, and shifting skies. The rich, layered hues evoke that first kiss of warmth on your skin, when the chill finally lifts and the world feels new again. Spring colors don’t shout; they softly promise renewal, beauty, and the bright days just ahead.

Let customers speak for us
This is the perfect everyday bag. All my items fit neatly in the zipper pockets, interior slip pockets, and the phone pocket on the outside - without bulking up my purse or making it too heavy to carry.
I’m a repeat customer, and this purse is my new go to.
Thank you!
Nice liked the color
BEAUTIFUL craftsmanship! Amazing quality! Made locally! Thank you! I love it!
I'm so impressed with how Karen helped me navigate customizing my bag on-line. She offered advice, asked questions, provided pictures of samples, and was very, very patient as I kept changing my mind on bag size, colors, and materials. The result is a wonderfully crafted bag I love that matches my lifestyle and my tastes. I also like that I have the only one! Great product and great experience, I would recommend Karen to friends and will come back next time I'm looking for a bag.
I love it
This is what I have always wanted. The pouch is well made. I know I will have it for years to come. It feels good and sturdy. Don’t have to worry about any “jingling” while I’m in attendance at a real quiet place. It’s a good accessory. I guess it’s just a “guy” thing for me.
Karen's work was phenomenal and I recevied many compliments for this purse that combines sleekness with just the right amount of space for everything. Many thanks to Karen for all the extra touches and thoughtfulness -a true made-to-order piece!
I love my new leather pinch pouch. I needed to find something small and secure to hold my custom made musician ear plugs. The Leather Pinch Pouch fits he bill perfectly. It's the perfect size for the ear plugs plus an additional set of filters. It fits nicely into my small concert pouch and is made of really nice leather. I got it at a really great price. It still smells so good too!
I love my bag! So beautifully crafted and holds so much! I know I will enjoy it for years to come.
I love all my Squires Canvas Creations! I have 7 of them! They are my go-to when I want a new bag. Karen is wonderful and very approachable and can even make custom creations. I've loved everything I have bought !
I purchased my bag at the holiday market along with a crossbody strap to allow me to use it in that way. The chain strap was too long and unadjustable so I contacted Karen. I asked if there was an option for an adjustable leather strap and she made one for me and met up with me to do the exchange. Thank you!!
Loved my print and size of the bag. Perfect for either a formal event or hanging with friends at the bar.
I purchased my plaid shoulder bag this summer at Art on the Avenue & my Granddaughter fell in love with it. I just purchased her one for Christmas. She vacationed in England this summer & she said a similar plaid & style was twice the cost that Karen charges. Beautiful workmanship!
Never hunting for my keys in the bottom of my bag again. Love the product and quality so much, I bought them for my sisters.
This tote bag is extremely well made, durable and beautiful! I love the quirky fabric and it will double as a hand bag and carry my knitting projects.
I will definitely buy another bag from them in the future!
