Handmade Store: Arlette Designs

Thank you for your interest in Arlette Designs

I am bringing you Handcrafted one-of-a-kind Fashion accessories such as Handbags, Clutches, Pouches and Belts. As part of my collections I also offer Home Decor accessories such as Decorative Cushions and Throws.

After graduating in Fashion Merchandising at the Toronto School of Business and trained in Sewing and Pattern Making at George Brown College and at the International Academy of Merchandising and Design; and after several years working in the corporate world, it is now that I am living the dream of offering you my one-of-a-kind designs that you will treasure for years to come.

My products are handcrafted using luxurious European designers' fabrics and by re-purposing and recycling these fabrics, which otherwise would have ended up in a landfill, they become environmentally friendly.

In my collection I use fabrics such as:
cottons
silks
linens
upholstery weight fabrics
tapestry
embroidery fabrics
toiles
faux leather
hand-printed, woven and printed fabric patterns
damasks and brocades combined with plain, patterned pile and geometric fabrics

I take advantage of the beautiful designs, colours and textures of these fabrics, and offer a very unique product. You can only find these specialty fabrics at high end showrooms, such as Brunschwig & Fils, Tesutti Uno and Kravet, and are only available through Interior Designers, Decorators and Architects.

Care: I recommend wiping with a moist cloth or dry cleaning to keep fabrics from fading or shrinkage, also the products should be kept away from direct sunlight.

All my products are handcrafted therefore, they might be slightly different. Some of the fabrics might have slubbing or weaving designs that might appear irregular, but these are some characteristics that these fabrics have, that make them unique and beautiful. Also colours may vary from your computer screen.

CUSHIONS INSERTS
In most instances cushions are listed without inserts. If you rather purchase a cushion with an insert, please e-mail me arlette@arlumizudesigns.com and the price will be adjusted accordingly.

Cushions sizes are fairly standard, therefore inserts are easily purchased. Finished cushion sizes will almost always be smaller, about 1 to 2 inches, than the stated size. Cushion covers fill out more attractively with a slightly larger insert.
