About Me

Perrysburg, Ohio, United States
As a local artist in Perrysburg, Ohio, I have been working with fabric since I was child. While raising four children, I have explored many facets of fabric work, including embroidery, quilting, window treatments, interior decorating, and now purses. By combining unique and colorful fabrics, I create purses that allow each woman to show their own personality. Contact me at jbpurses@aol.com or at 419-270-4205 with questions about a specific purse, a custom order, or to book a party. You may purchase from me directly by email or phone. Upcoming shows and retail locations where you can get my purses are also listed on this site.

Wear This!







The girls from wear this! are ready to start the fall season.

Our group consists of approximately ten
talented women who all create "wearable art". Our creations range from jewelry, scarves and purses, to jackets and much more. On the schedule already are a fashion show at Clara J's Tea Room and a festival in Ottawa Hills, we will also be showing as a group at the Holiday Art / Craft show at Southview H.S. in November.

Our goal is to become a "traveling boutique" that will appear at local women's groups, country clubs, and charity events. We will gladly donate a portion of the day's sales to a charity of the hosts choosing. These photos are from a charity show we attended at Twigs in Rossford, Ohio.
Tired of seeing the same old things at the mall, check out the great "wearable art" from the members of our group and see what it is like to wear an original creation.
If you are interested in hosting a traveling boutique show please contact me
