Sage says made this bag during the past summer, which was very long and very hot. I wanted to do a simple black and white bag, but decided that it needed some color because it was starting to look too boring. The butterfly was inspired by the many butterflies that were butter-ing around the world at the time.

Feedback from the person who ordered the bag
Catherine's Banker: "Sage's bag has had a definite, beneficial effect on Catherine's portfolio."
Catherine's Dad: "She talks to boys now."
Catherine's Mom: "Her room looks neater."

No, Seriously
An Independent Third Party: "Sage's bag shows artisanry at its best. The materials are fine; the weave has a thick, rich feel, and the graphic design has beauty and flavor. It is perfectly suited as the special gift we hoped to give to our daughter on her birthday, something she will cherish and perhaps hand down to her own daughter some day."

Whoever commissions work with Sage will sense they are working with a dedicated and able artisan, one who is absolutely honest in her art as well as in her business dealings. She knows she is making things which, in their beauty and craft, are worthy of the needs and memories of the user. Ten years from now her work of today will not become hand-me-downs, they will be heirlooms.
