Meet the Maker
Hello! I'm Angie ~ Welcome to my shop, Gal Alex Bags, which I lovingly chose from a combination of my children's middle names.
I create meticulously handcrafted one-of-a-kind bags and wallets in my home sewing room. My interest in sewing began during my middle school years, when I learned the basics, like how to sew pillow covers and pot holders. Over time, I moved onto aprons, placemats, Barbie doll clothing, and more. Then around the beginning of 2021, I branched out into making my own purses, just so I could carry something different from what I was finding in the stores. So, with the help of online patterns and YouTube tutorials, my dedication to sewing unique bags and wallets blossomed.
It's a very enjoyable and therapeutic process deciding exactly how I'd like a finished item to look, collecting all the materials, then sewing it into existence. And I especially love making others happy with my creations. As a result, my friends and family have been so positive and supportive throughout this process, frequently encouraging me to start a website. So, here it is!
I hope you enjoy browsing, and I'd love it if you found something you simply can't live without! Thank you for visiting, and please return!
How it’s Made
Every item in my shop is handmade by me, with the use of my industrial sewing machines, in my smoke-free and pet-free home. I strive to use only the highest quality vinyl, cork, cotton and canvas that I can, along with premium bonded nylon thread and choice hardware, in order to create distinctive yet durable, long-lasting accessories. The time commitment for each of my items varies depending on size and difficulty, but are typically made over a three to four day period. I very rarely make two of the same thing, as I do believe variety is the spice of life!
Shop Policies
All sales are final. As all of my items are handmade and require many hours of work, they are not returnable.
Processing Time: Your purchase will be shipped FREE (US only) in 1-2 days, and a tracking number will be provided.
Care Instructions: None of my bags or wallets can be machine washed; for vinyl, cotton or canvas, wipe clean only with a damp cloth. Waxed canvas, while durable, will still show marks and creases even more over time, due to its "naturally distressed" look, but can be wiped clean gently with a damp cloth if needed. And to clarify, any bags with water-resistant canvas are only resistant to liquids; any liquid will bead on the surface, but still soak in slowly. This type of fabric is not considered waterproof.
