do you argyle?

About Me

we dangsters currently make bags, purses, pouches, wallets, wristlets, linocut cards, jewelry, and other other small oddities that we find fun to make. we use mainly vintage and reclaimed fabrics & trims in our creations. reusing & recycling is where it's at. and we're especially in love with scouring for and using vintage tea towels. because we said so.
fact: michigan and wisconsin aren't *that* far apart. i mean, really.
