Last Sunday Incredibly Handmade celebrated its official Grand Opening
in San Clemente, CA. Over 50 guests gathered for this exotic,
fun-filled evening; feasting on Janice's delectable homemade Paella and
her delicious and potent Sangria! With magnificent ocean views from
every direction, guests watched the sun set over the Pacific while
enjoying the casual fashion show on the terrace. Janice's friends
modeled the merchandise and after guests couldn't wait to view the
showroom stocked with gorgeous handmade
unique accessories from
around the
world! From the moment we opened the showroom it was like a feeding
frenzy of men and women (yes, men too!) energized by all the variety of
unique handmade treasures from around the world; a completely new
shopping experience and a refreshing alternative to department store
shopping! A very, very successful Grand Opening indeed!

The traditional
art of weaving in Thailand has rich, cultural
significance. Traditional clothing, celebratory costumes, textiles for
the home and textiles for the temple were all hand-woven by the women
of the house. Girls were taught these skills from a very young age by
their mothers and grandmothers. In fact, male suitors
measured women's desirability for marriage based on
their level of skill and talent as weavers. Silk shawls and
wraps,
as
well as silk
scarves for women and silk
scarves for men are the most
popular Thai textiles and are exported all over the world as beautiful,
handmade accessories. However, handmade scarves and shawls are just one
kind of textile traditionally woven in Thailand. Learn more about how
hand-woven textiles play an important role in all aspects of Thai life
and history.

It wasn't until the mid-nineteenth century that the first handbag was
introduced. Before then, women had only embroidered mesh drawstring
bags to carry their belongings. These drawstring mesh bags were small
pouches, and held little more than keys and pocket change. The
mesh embroidery also offered women no privacy to conceal personal
items.
Today, a woman's handbag is a portable home away from home, containing
everything from make-up and other toiletries to planners, wallets, cell
phones and PDAs. Today, not only do we have classic handbags, but
literally dozens of bags in all styles, shapes and functional designs.
So before your next shopping trip, give yourself a head
start in the decision making process and have a look at this list of
today's top choices:
