Daphne was a huntress and wanted nothing to do with love or marriage. To the dismay of her father, the river god Peneus, she thwarted all suitors. All those connected to Olympus knew that the worst lovers were the gods; most encounters ended in tragedy for those they tried to seduce.
But Apollo saw and fell in lust with Daphne who tried to run from him but realized he was gaining fast. Daphne called for her father's help and he changed her into a beautiful laurel tree. Apollo's love did not wane; he had all his victors weave their brows with laurel leaves.

THIS BAG: The Nikos I allows a lot of creativity to go into the bag's flap. Pictured are a few choices: the flap of the white bag on the bottom is lined in red leather with a magnetic snap and a double strap of red and white leather and is sewn with red thread - can you say "Valetine's Day?"

BACKGROUND As mentioned above, Eros was the beautiful Greek god of love (sex, really). His beauty was so great that he did not want his lover Psyche to see him since she may have been harmed by his overwhelming beauty. She defied him and stole a glance while he slept, so he left her. OK so he was also a bit fickle.

Yeros $110

          I added a cell phone pocket on the back using the acid-washed hair-on leather. I also added a buckle to the shoulder strap, so it can fit you perfectly.

Although most of my bags are named after Greek gods and heroes, the basic pattern for this bag was created by my apprentice, Julia, and was named after her sister, one of the early victims of Covid.

THE BOX:
          The basic pattern for this box is called Noula (see background below). The box is 5½” square and 4” tall. It is completely lined with goat skin which extends to the outside maintaining its natural edge. The inside of the lid is also lined; the top has a hole with a “puff” of goat skin trying to escape! The box is dyed with three shades of brown. It is finished off with a couple coats of leather balm and wax.

          Noula is a heroine of Greece. Okay, maybe not, but she is a dear friend I’ve known for more than 50 years. She’s just a little bit crazy (hence “dear friend”).

THIS BAG: This crazy bag began with a pattern I call Bouboulina (see background below).  I added a cell phone pocket on the back and covered it with goat skin which I had dyed with a special spray to match some of the holes in the skin.
          For the front, I lined two large pieces of skin with three shades of blue and dyed a portion of the larger skin with swipes of black.
          I added a hanging pocket to the inside using a lighter-colored leather, so the pocket is easier to find and use.
          All the straps are double or triple lined and handsewn. The closure strap is triple thick with cut outs in the black leather to expose three shades of blue. It is finished off with a magnetic snap.
          There are four pieces to the shoulder straps; each piece is double thick and handsewn. The buckle allows the shoulder strap to be adjusted to your preferences.

COST: This one-of-a-kind bag is $250.00
BACKGROUND: Bouboulina was a heroine of the 1821 Greek Independence. Her wealth allowed her to buy a huge warship which she captained. She and her crew sank many ships of the Turkish occupiers. The Greeks won their independence, but after 400 years of occupation, there are still many remnants of Turkish culture in Greece.
