April's Style is on File 

Welcome to our April 2008 newsletter. Spring is all around us and it's great to get sand in our toes and open the windows for fresh air. From new product launches to a recent customer's wonderful comments, we have so much to share with you. And with our website's new Style Gallery, you won't be waiting long to get your hands on a custom made handbag!

New Product News

Mini Vintage Sari Tote ($40)

While the saris have traveled far from India and are as antique as they get, you don't need a passport to purchase them. Sized small for your key essentials, they are adorable and collectible at this price. See the initial launch collection here as we add more to the site soon.


New Tote Bag Set ($150)

While contrast is a great way to add splash to an outfit, some of us love to match things. This new Tote Bag Set is perfect for a getaway without having to pack too many handbags. The smaller one in the Market Bazaar style fits right into the large tote. Pick your color combinations and fabrics and you'll have the most stylish custom tote set. Get ready for heads to turn!


Pretty Paisley Card Set ($10)

There's something about paisley that immediately adds a touch of class. Make your correspondence stand out on this beautiful set of cards. Available as a set of five, you can choose from bashful blue, petal pink or midnight black.

Testimonial of the Month

"I was introduced to Manisha and Sunisha Designs during a volunteer event for Children's Home Society. She brought her handbags, Wine Wraps, and wrappings to our recruiting event for a preview party. We were able to purchase right from her stock. She had so many style and patterns to choose from. I purchased a grey flannel messenger bag that she had created to hold my laptop and files. But she took that bag design and created one especially for me for a more comfortable carrying style. And she worked on it until it was perfect just for me. I also purchased a new handbag for my Mom. Manisha definitely went the extra mile to make the handbag especially designed for me. I carry my bag everywhere, It holds a laptop as well as all of my other necessities for everyday use. I get many compliments on my messenger bag and I know my mom get compliments on her bag in Las Vegas. She points to the tag and tells the to go check it out on line. I tell friends about Sunisha all the time. Thank you!"

The Mom-treprenuer Corner

Recently in Town & Country magazine, a reader wrote to the editor her 10 best of what luxury living means to her. Some were realistic, some were amusing. It inspired me to think of my favorite luxuries as a mom-treprenuer:

1. Reading the daily newspaper, with coffee, on the same day my husband picks it up from our front door.
2. My massage membership that "forces" to me a little place called heaven each month.
3. Watching a movie with no phone interruptions and a few Ferrero Rocher's in hand.
4. Indulging in breakfast or lunch with a best friend. It's the greatest way to feel high.
5. A good belly laugh with my husband.
6. Noticing that both my fingernails and toenails are polished. And that I took time to put on a little extra cream.
7. Walking into my studio and beaming at filed papers, folded fabrics and nothing to put away.
8. A full tank of gas on a day when driving around just to feel the air in my hair is on my to-do list.
9. Being at home for my daughter whose constant comments on everyday life are more notable than any successful sitcom.
10. A balanced checkbook. Milk in the fridge. My slippers on my feet. After all, it is the little things that make me feel luxurious.

On A Personal Note

Saloni with "Yaya" in her "boys section" t-shirt

The days are nearing as my family and I prepare for our little one's arrival. Having been in the pink of things with Saloni, it's funny to see so much blue now. Luckily though, Saloni is very much the tomboy and proudly states that her clothes are "from the boy's section"! When our family friend that she considers her Greek grandmother (Yaya) bought a pair of sunglasses for her, she said, "I don't want them, they're too pink for me." Don't you just love the downright honesty of children? I treasure her directness and can't wait for her baby brother and her to shower each other with love and oh, share clothes from the boy's section.

We would love to see you at our Home Studio. Morning, evening, weekend or daytime appointments are welcome. Coffee, tea and something sweet are always on the house.

Sincerely,

Manisha S. Joshi
