\"Amy_kos1\"Meet Amy Kos of Dearborn, Michigan.  She is quick with the stitch, has a great sense of style and creates fun, flirty purses. We carry a variety of her lovely handbags at our Berkley location<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I had the chance to ask Amy a bit about her bags & business.<\/p>\n

\"Amy_kos2\"What inspired you to start creating art and how did you turn it into a business?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I’ve always loved art.  Growing up it was always a favorite hobby and to have art class in school was a plus.  Family and friends complemented my work whether it was drawing, sewing, etc.  They said I had a special ‘eye’ for it.  I started looking through books and magazines and craft shows realizing that I could definitely do the same type of work and make a business of it.<\/p>\n

What do you most enjoy about the creative process?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I love when a project comes together.  Whether it’s the materials or the color scheme.  It’s a rush of energy that is exciting to me that makes me want to create even more!<\/p>\n

Most of my bags are one of a kind!<\/p>\n
