I'm sorry to report that there still is no word on Nicholas Francisco. I continue to hope for a good outcome for his wife and children. If anyone is in the Seattle area, please continue to keep your eyes open. The reward for information leading to Nicholas is now $15,000.
As for August Lately, I've been working on orders and sneaking a few new designs in between.
Meet the roomy shoulder bag:
This particular bag is made from the Amy Butler Belle collection and is a bit livelier than I intended.
The same design looks incredibly different when made with dark brown ultrasuede and a classic floral print:
The ultrasuede is gorgeous in person but what a challenge it is to photograph!
In other August Lately News- The Belle bag is now also available as a design-your-own bag at August Lately:
We're battening down the hatches for yet another snow storm here in Vermont. What a winter! Hopefully I'll get some extra sewing time in.
Love the bright colors-it makes me glad spring is coming!

Your bags are gorgeous. I have created a similar but not-at-all alike really bag label combining different fabrics in a similar way. I love your blog and will definitely keep popping in.
