Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-11-25 Summary: Cute, entertaining ... I feel like it's very similar to confessions of a shopaholic, same writing style. It's a cute book to read, I actually enjoyed this one. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-16 Summary: So funny! ... HILARIOUS! Very well written, fun and easy read. Haley's sarcasm (a technique I usually don't see written well) was absolutely laugh outloud funny. I'm on my way to buy the second book in the series. ...more
[3] Rating: 5 Date: 2010-01-12 Summary: A Delightful Read ... The story is just as cute as the cover. Haley Randolph loves to shop for designer purses, but hates to work; she holds down two jobs, both of which are in jeopardy because of her lackluster work ethic. The story is a delight - Haley is your average 20-something, who has more style than skill and, although she's pretty unambitious, you really begin to like her and her exploits. Haley's life takes a turn for the worse (and better) when she stumbles upon a body in the stockroom at work. She a suspect immediately, and ...more

[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2007-10-01 Summary: Lovely Eye Candy ... Handbags is a light-weight (as in no information on what makes a great handbag great) lots of very good photographs of iconic "classic" and "it" bags. Lovely biographical sketches of taste-making handbag designers and many historical bags and historical details (but not adequate if you are doing historical costumes). One brief sketch of how a very high-quality (Hermes) bag is constructed. All in all a lovely read, though, because of the pictures. ...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2004-06-22 Summary: Nice book! ... This book focuses on creating four styles of bags: the tote, clutch, drawstring, and beach bag - plus variations on these four styles. The book comes complete with step-by-step illustrated instructions for each type of handbag, which so far, have been pretty clear and easy to follow. Also included are all the necessary patterns, but will have to be enlarged with a copy machine to be of any use. At the back of the book there is a full-color "gallery" of various students' handbag designs. I found this to be useful as ...more
[3] Rating: 4 Date: 2006-03-22 Summary: Definitely a book for beginners ... This book is laid out nicely with clear instructions and diagrams. They cover four simple categories of bags - clutch, tote, drawstring and beach tote. It was easy to use but not very inspirational. I found the patterns a bit cumbersome to use. If you are looking for a book to get you started, this is a good one. If you already make your own bags and are looking for fresh ideas, there are other better books on the market. ...more
[4] Rating: 5 Date: 2006-02-21 Summary: FIT does it again! ... Excellent guide to making all kinds of handbags. Excellent instructions so that even a beginner can be successful. Good resource list. It even includes the e-mail addresses of the student work featured. Tear-out patterns can be increased to full size on a copier.

[5] Rating: 4 Date: 2004-01-05 Summary: Fun and full of clever ideas - a bargain too! ... I checked this book out from the library and am now going to purchase it. I found the bags in this book creative and inspiring. I have looked into most of the books on making handbags and this is one of the better ones. I am a bit perplexed at some of the negative reviews at Amazon that I have read regarding this book. I think the instructions are easy to follow, and in my opinion, if you know how to sew (and if you have ever sewn the simplest of handbags), the instructions are easy to follow. My only complaint is ...more
