How many times have you seen a handbag or diaper bag that you really like, but you wish it came in more colors? Possibly even different patterns or fabrics? That is exactly what you get from 1154 LILL Studio. They offer 35 items, mostly bags, that you can personalize to your liking with over 100 choices of patterns.

Until you see the website for yourself, you can’t begin to understand how many choices there actually are for personalization. The bag I chose is called Susan and it is a large diaper bag. Not only did I get to choose between 100 different patterns but these are also different weights and weaves as well. So if I wanted a suede look I could choose as such. Then, I was able to decorate 4 areas on the bag. The strap, the exterior base, the exterior top and the exterior trim. There were so many  choices I had to go back to the company and ask for more time because I had so many customized handbags I couldn’t choose. I enjoyed the experience so much I’m actually asking for a Nikki bag for Christmas.

When I’d finally made my decision I placed my order and when the bag arrived I fell in love with it and did a Snoopy happy dance right then and there.  The 1154 LILL Studio Susan bag is super sturdy so I know it will hold up for years to come. Not only do I use the bag as my diaper bag but I also use it as my “personal item” on airplanes. It fits my laptop, some extra clothes, a snack and a book with room to spare. However it isn’t huge and bulky. I liked all the interior pockets, 4 in all, to fit things like diapers and sippy cups while on Mom duty and make up and maps while on vacation. The Susan bag from 1154 LILL Studio does need something with weight inside or else it is too big to carry around. It just didn’t feel right. When I was in New York for a long weekend I carried this bag with my dress shoes everywhere we went so that I could wear flip flops when we walked. That was enough weight for the bag to be comfortable.

I’m not the only one who has fallen head over heels for 1154 LILL Studio Custom Made Handbags. Celebrities like Jennifer Garner and Debra Messing have created their own ERINN Clutch. Both actresses swooned over their bags and I’m sure we’ll be seeing them in out and about pictures in the near future.

I want to shout from the rooftops that I am in love with my 1154 LILL Studio Susan Bag and tell everyone how much fun it is to play around with the website creating bag after bag until you catch just the right look. If I had to mention a negative I will say that I felt the zipper was a bit industrial and rickety for such a nice high end bag. 1154 LILL Studio should probably look into a more dainty, yet still strong, zipper that possibly matches the color of the bag.

Right now one of my lucky readers will win a 1154 LILL Studio Bag. This one has already been created and you can see it below. But I assure you it is gorgeous and really goes with everything.
