Announcement
Bienvenue a' Atelier Coquillages... The official Etsy shop for exclusive Coquillages designs in upcycled purses, picnic baskets, lunch baskets, gloves, and whatever else takes my fancy.
Whence the name? Coquillages means "seashells"...and seashells are one of the many treasures I find here on California's beautiful Central Coast. To me, seashells are like a gift given by the ocean. I love to stroll the miles of sandy beaches here.
I have always loved flowers, purses, and jewelry. So it was a natural for me to combine these loves and create these fun and unique purse designs. I start with fabulous vintage purses and add on vintage jewelry, vintage enamel flower brooches, and handmade cloth flowers. I also love decoupage (it gives me the ability to decorate a surface, in spite of the fact that I can't draw a straight line!). You will see it make a frequent appearance in my shop, especially on my vintage picnic baskets, where they get a fabulous face-lift with decoupage. I then "fluff them up" with vintage linens, china, stemware, and silverware into a one-of-a-kind, useable, and beautiful work of art.
My purses are perfect for your wedding, prom, fancy night on the town-- or just for every-day eye-grabbing carrying around! Or give one of my gorgeous picnic baskets as a wedding gift, shower gift, housewarming gift, or as a very thoughtful "just because".
CUSTOM ORDERS ALWAYS WELCOME AND APPRECIATED! Convo me and let's talk colors, styles, and preferences.
