Anyone else's dad give them a multi-hour talk on parking lot safety and stranger danger when you were learning to drive? Just us?

Well a few years (give or take several decades) later and we're still using this tip... always have your key fob around your wrist when walking to your car. This keeps your hands free and your eyes vigilant instead of looking for the keys in your bag. Our key fob is sturdy, stylish, and dad-safety approved.

"Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven." Matthew 5:16

Are you beat up? Tired? Kicked around? Down trodde

Are you beat up? Tired? Kicked around? Down trodden?

See these two pictures (swipe right)? They are the same bag. This bag got knocked over and dropped on this dirty, dingy floor (1). The dirt was abrasive, it was staining, it left marks. At first the drop was an accident. Then we purposefully decided to leave it in order to take a picture.

A lot like life.

But this Bella bag was intentionally, personally, handcrafted and stitched together to withstand hard stuff.

A lot like you.
"For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother’s womb." Psalm 139:13

This bag was made with high quality materials from good sources.

A lot like you.
"So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them." Genesis 1:27

And after its time on the floor and dirt, this bag was worn for its beauty (2) and depended on for carrying precious things.

Just like you.

Even when life's circumstances are rough, know that your true identity is in how God sees you in Jesus and who He made you to be. You were created for beauty and good things.
"For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them." Ephesians 2:10

Be encouraged!

And if you just have to have a Bella tote (a clean, new, non-dropped-on-the-floor one), our shop link is in bio.

When a maker loves their work and the people they work with, what they make is something you will love too. The qualities of our products are something to write home about, and that's in large part because of the quality of people that make them.
