  • WE HAVE A NEW STUDIO!

    STUDIO NEWS: That's right, we moved our studio! It's a very stressful time but I'm feeling very good about shaking things up! All of the sewing and design work will be brought to life in the new studio space! Those of you who know me, know that I grew up in Portsmouth, RI, so this will be just over the bridge from my old stomping ground in Warren, RI at The Handkerchief Building. I moved on July 17 and I'm still setting up the studio. Once I'm in, it's definitely a place you can stop by for a visit, say hi and even shop!

    Don't worry, for local folks, I still have the showroom on Beacon Street with one of every style and color in Brookline, MA. I plan to open the showroom for limited hours on the weekends and weekday appointments. So, contact me for any requests!

    Stay tuned for snapshots of the move and all the fun to come! Follow us on Instagram @larabdesigns or Facebook.

    WE'RE SHIPPING! Free Shipping on all domestic orders. So, instead of purchasing your handbag face to face, now your handbag will be at your doorstep, no added cost. If there's something you saw on social media and can't find on the site, just reach out.

    I'd love to hear from you too. Let me know how you're doing and what you're looking for - maybe we can dream up some new styles together! This will pass ... it'll just take some more time, be patient and stay safe and please support your local small businesses, they'll appreciate it more than you know!

    Smiles and {virtual} hugs,
    Lara ;)
