Note on colors: The first picture has the most accurate display of colors (at least on my computer). This is a fairly dark navy, with a slightly lighter strap. The lining is a little darker than in the photo. I can send additional photos if the exact color is important to you. Thanks for understanding.
I craft every item with care, one-at-a-time or in small batches from my home in the beautiful Hudson Valley, New York. Visit the FAQ section of my shop page for my handbag quality guarantee.

Bidizza Bags

Meet the Maker
Welcome to Bidizza! I believe there is beauty in everyone and all things. My wish is that my handmade gifts will add a little happiness for you or someone in your life!
My love for sewing started at an early age watching my mom use my Nana's 1910 Singer sewing machine. I was later influenced by my big sister who taught me how to design and sew my own clothes as she shared her love, knowledge and appreciation of fine wool and silk textiles. She lived near the Kentucky textile mills and would mail swatches of fabric for us to collaborate on making post-college job interview suits. Life happened and I lost my focus on sewing for a while until both my daughters needed wedding dresses. Once the wedding dress adventures took hold, I was right back into sewing! Now retired, I'm blessed with being able to run my own small business and enjoy the small batch work of handbags, scarves and other textile items.
I still rely on my sister for feedback, ideas (and big life decisions!). I inherited that 1910 sewing machine and it remains an inspiration for my work.
My granddaughter now has her first Singer and we're building memories as she begins her own making journey.
How did the shop name Bidizza originate? My grandparents immigrated to the United States from Sicily in the early 1900's. The Sicilian word Bidizza references beautiful in the Sicilian language and is my small way of honoring my Sicilian roots.
My creations include rustic wool shag rugs, pet beds, bowl cozies, upscale wool handbags, upcycled denim bags and other gifts inspired by natural fibers, sourced in the USA when possible, with a minimal environmental footprint.

Shop Policies
Processing Time:
Orders are typically processed and shipped within 1-2 days. The time the item actually arrives to you depends on the carrier, along with variables outside of my control, but typically takes between 3-7 business days from the time it leaves my shop. Most items are shipped via USPS ground advantage but sometimes I use FedEx or UPS.
Returns:
It’s important to me that you are happy with your purchase and feel comfortable referring me to others. If for any reason that’s not the case, please contact me at bidizzagifts@gmail.com and we’ll work something out.
RETURN POLICY
CHANGE OF HEART: You may return your item within 30 days of purchase as long as it is in its original unused condition. You pay the cost to ship to me. I’ll replace the item or refund your money as long as it has not been used or damaged. If you paid cash at a craft fair, I’ll need to know which show and will verify with my records the date of purchase.
HANDBAG WORKMANSHIP GUARANTEE (applies only to purses and wallets) If your purse or wallet has a construction failure with 90 days of receipt, I will correct, fix, or replace it for free (my decision on which option). Shipping the item back to me is your responsibility. I will cover the return shipping of the repaired or replaced item back to you.
Examples of construction failures include, but are not limited to zipper teeth failures, seams unravelling, and popping rivets. Construction failures do NOT include abrasions, tears not on a seam, stains, or zipper pull failures, as these are signs of use and not the fault of the maker. If you encounter a construction failure beyond 90 days after receipt or through normal usage, please contact me immediately to see if it still might be repairable for a small fee. The sooner you contact me, the more likely it is that I have that fabric available for a repair.
Custom Orders:
I accept custom order requests. Send me message if you're interested and we can work out the details.
