About Tamra’s Textiles

Ever wonder if I really make all these bags myself?
The answer is a resounding YES!

From my home studio and workshop in Surrey, BC, I pour my heart and creativity into every piece you see on my website. Now that I’m retired, designing and crafting unique handbags has become my passion—most days (and nights!) are spent bringing new ideas to life.

I specialize in styles and materials you won’t find on store shelves, and no two bags are ever exactly alike. When you choose one of my designs, you’re getting a truly one-of-a-kind piece. I carefully select premium materials—leather, cork, fabric, faux leather, and even a few upcycled treasures—and pair them with thoughtfully chosen hardware to create something truly special.

Looking for something even more personal? I’d love to collaborate with you on a custom bag! Together, we’ll choose the perfect style, materials, and details to create a bag that feels uniquely yours.

Every bag I make is a labor of love, and I hope you’ll enjoy carrying yours as much as I’ve enjoyed creating it.
