The Perrrrrfect Clutch

Stay Nautical

Nautical Bags NOW available!! 

Nautical Flag Bags Arriving SOON!

The nautical flags that are used on boats and ships have an important meaning behind them besides looking nautical on clothing and home decor, they are used to display "code" for other ships that may be in distress or have a scuba diver on board. They have 26+different meanings depending on the color and the way the color is displayed on the flag itself. Pretty cool, huh?

Well, I'm using them in an accessory form. They will still be represented in a way that goes back to what they were originally used for BUT having them go by your first or last name. Preps are drawn to anything nautical, especially Maryland and anyone in the south, so why not add something super unique to your wardrobe with this little over the shoulder bag.

They are hand made out of duck canvas in colors that represent each flag and letter perfectly! The measurement of the bag is 8 x 8 which is the perfect size for a little wallet, keys, and your cell phone.

The shoulder strap is hand braided out of cotton roping to give the bag an even more nautical look! 

To hold the opening together, two braided ropes are used to tie the bag together so nothing of value falls out. 

The inside lining a cotton blue and white striped fabric to give the bag, if it wasn't nautical enough, an even more nautical feel. 

Best part about this bag? It's TOTALLY custom made! Each bag will take 1-3 weeks to make and be shipped out to it's new home. I know what you're thinking, why is this awesome bag taking so long to get to me?! Well, I want to make sure it is properly made with quality care before getting to you.

Release date:  May 10th, 2014

Price: $30

BUT if you message me on Etsy and mention this post, you will receive a special "pre-order" price now until the 10th! 

Stay hooked, the best is yet to come! 

Out with Spring. In with Summer....or so it feels!

Growing up in Maryland, we had all four seasons; it would get cool in the Fall, freezing in the winter, nice in the spring, and super hot and humid in the summer. I looked forward to each season; especially when it was super hot in the summer, I just wanted winter and in the winter I just wanted summer to roll around.
Now living in Southern California, we didn't have much of a winter at all! It went straight to summer to summer basically. Truth, we did have a couple "cooler" days but they just didn't compare to he Maryland winters. In January, no lie, for a solid week it was in the 90s and 80s. As all my friends and family back home were super jealous of the sun I was getting, I was super jealous of the snow they were getting.
As we roll into April, can you believe we're half way through it already?!, and rock into May, I can't wait to see what the real Summer holds in store for me. I have yet to live in a Southern California summer so it shall be interesting! (I do predict lots and lots of trips to the beach!)

Huntington Beach, CA

With Spring rolling out and Summer rolling in, I can't wait to share something that I've been working on with everyone the past couple of months. They are still in the beginning stages, you know testing out what materials I want to use and not use, but they are looking pretty "nautical" if I do say so myself! 

Here's a little sneak peak!! 

I hope everyone is enjoying Springtime and starting to plan their Summer 2014! 

The Tote Bag

The time has finally come for Chesapeake Tides to start creating some accessories for women! I’ve been selling the cosmetic bags for a few months now & I couldn’t be happier with the out come of how they are doing!
I wanted a tote bag that was durable, could hold up to the worst conditions, and be machine washable. The canvas I chose fits into all these categories and I can’t wait to share them with the rest of you!!

I'm kind of a HUGE fan of the front pocket!

Blue Gray Skip Jacks

(you can also get your man a bow tie in this design too!)

Maryland Flag

I would definitely call this my signature pattern because it’s the design that really made my business BOOM! I love Maryland and as much as I LOVE living in California, Maryland will always hold a special place in my heart.  Magothy River water will continue to run through my veins. 

Life Rings

I’m kind of in love with them & I hope everyone else will too!!
