Catherine Toolan

work by Catherine Toolan

It started with Grandma's button box - a treasure chest of memories that became an inspiration for original designs.  Each item is unique and inspired by a fragment or beads from my growing collection of textiles and objects.  These vintage treasures take on a new life and the story passes to the next person as an accessory with character and individuality. So the item you choose has a little piece of history - and bags of style.

You'll find jewel-bright bags with bead-embellished layers of silks and velvets.  Wedding bags of vintage damask and beaded voile with sweet bangle handles have something old and something new.  And there are crisp cotton bags and smart cravats for tailored tastes.
As they make perfect gifts, designs come with elegant boxes and there is a range of greetings cards in co-ordinating fabrics.

The range is ever-changing and lends itself to commissions incorporating your own treasures or fabrics.
