The current estimated completion time is 5-8 weeks. I have taken into consideration the arrival of baby Lee #3, due May 5. Should all go well, there should be no additional delays. If additional time is needed to complete orders (as we know babies arrive when they want to and not when we plan!), all customers will be notified immediately.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am working very hard during April to complete as many orders as possible in anticipation of baby's arrival and to prevent any delays in order completion. Thank you for understanding as I work to complete your order as soon as possible. <br />

Made by the same company as my original gray/white chevron, this NEW Gray, as I am calling it, is a little softer gray and printed on a soft smooth twill. The picture below shows the difference between the original gray chevron and the new gray chevron. <br />

Special pricing applies (about $8/bag) to these fabrics due to the above average cost of the fabric, but oh is it ever worth every penny! It's a cotton/linen blend with a heavier weight than regular quilt cotton, similar to home dec. It's just a beautiful fabric with a wonderful feel and drape to it.<br />

The new chevron fabrics are here! Love the tone on tone prints featuring two shades of the same color. If your life is anything like mine, which includes 2 boys and country roads, then you'll truly appreciate these new prints! Now the hard part is deciding which fabric to use! So many choices and I love them all! Hope you do too! </div>

Where do the days and years go? I get to create all sorts of things like super capes, wallets, pajama pants and backpacks for them. They are 100% boy, non-stop go-go-go, in love with anything that makes loud noises or has an engine (think trucks, trains, planes etc). I love any chance I get to make something for them.<br />

However, all my friends have girls and there is just something fun about created little pretty things for them. Maybe because I don't have the frilly girly things in my own house, it makes it extra fun for me to create the Mini Mama's for everyone else's girls. They seem to love their little purses as they so want to be like mom!<br />

While being copied is an odd form of flattery, it is also quite frustrating for the original creator who spent countless hours designing, redesigning, testing and marketing their product. <br />
<br />
Sadly, I recently found several shops creating almost exact replica's of my best selling Emma Messenger bag. These shop owners have copied not just the super functional design of the pocket system inside the Emma and Stella bags, but also several accessories and even part of my logo and my label style and placement!<br />
<br />
So I thought maybe you'd like to know what is in these bags? How are they set apart from other similar bags that you might find floating around out there. <br />
<br />
I designed my first bag shortly after the birth of my second son in 2009. The original bag included the 6 pockets (3 slip and 3 elastic) inside a stylish pleated bag that you've come to know as the Emma bag. Over the past 4 years, I have worked to perfect that design and the bag pattern to make the bags what they are today. But know that I am always working to make every item better and more functional, more durable and more beautiful!<br />
<br />
Why an O-ring and not a traditional rectangle slide on the strap? <br />
-I have owned bags with that rectangle slide on the strap and found myself a little unhappy when slide shifts so that the strap rests in the smaller side of the rectangle, not how it was designed and making it more difficult to adjust the strap. The O-ring moves with the strap so you NEVER have to worry about it shifting out of place or fighting the slide when adjusting your strap!<br />
<br />
What's inside?<br />
-I've had many customers ask what's inside the bags. Normally a cloth bag is soft with little structure, collapsing onto itself when set down and looking saggy. Not so with ML bags! Over 4 years, I've perfected a structural system for the bags that not only give the bags structure you might find in a bag made with a stiffer material, but it strengthens the stitching giving the bag more durability. You might call it my secret ingredient!<br />
<br />
What about lining blow-outs?<br />
-Most commercially made bags are lined with a thin polyester-based fabric that is prone to ripping and over time stressed seams fray and shred leaving you with a lining blow-out-eek! The way ML bags are design and reinforced this doesn't happen. I use quality cotton and through the structural system mentioned above, the lining of every bag is created with function and durability in mind.<br />
<br />
Uh-oh-the bottle spilled inside my bag!<br />
-No worries! Every item is made with quality cotton and washable materials. Visit the Care page for more instructions on how to care for your bag and when needed-WASH it! No more crusty milk and crumb abyss in your bag!<br />
<br />
Hand-crafted attention to detail<br />
-Every item is cut and sewn to order! This means that each and every bag, changing pad, clutch, accessory is cut by hand (not by machines) and sewn using the highest quality cotton and materials, using INDUSTRIAL sewing machines and threads giving you a professional looking and quality product. Using industrial machines allows me to create a more durable product. I have bags still being used from the early days of 2009!<br />
<br />
Made in the USA!<br />
-When I'm not playing with my boys, you'll find me contently working in my studio tucked into the mountains of Montana. Know that with your purchase you are receiving a hand-made quality bag and at the same time supporting our local economy helping another American family put food on the table. With that in mind, I work hard to source and buy my materials and supplies from other USA companies. While most fabric is created overseas, I diligently work with USA manufacturers and suppliers which keeps more of your dollars within the USA supporting other USA companies and families. <br />
<br />
A face and name behind the company!<br />
-Hi, I'm Maranda, a mom and wife, designer and business owner. I have 2 amazing boys that inspired me to design bags and accessories for moms and women. I am married to the love of my life who happens to be my high school sweetheart. My goal is to create items that women will love to use. You can say that I bring the "fun" into functional bags! Putting your own name on a product sets a really high bar and I work hard every day to create the best possible item for each and every customer. I grew up in a family business and understand that a great product is only great when paired with fantastic customer service. My customers are my business and I strive to offer the BEST customer service at all times.<br />
<br />
Contact me!<br />
-I am always here to answer your questions regarding an item. Feel free to email me at hotmamahandbags at gmail dot com. I try to respond to every inquiry within 24 hours. If you don't hear from me, it means I didn't get your communication so please try again or stop in my etsy shop <a href="http://www.marandalee.etsy.com/">www.marandalee.etsy.com</a> and send me a conversation. Occasionally I am away from the computer as you could say this is a one-mom-shop and sometimes we're off on a little adventure. However, I will always be in touch as soon as possible and also note any vacations in my shop and on my website.Maranda Leehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05030620915338846246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3517509245248982531.post-6745594185191007092012-12-22T14:21:00.001-07:002012-12-22T14:21:09.059-07:00New Red and Teal Stella Bag!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
The new Stella bag is here! Similar to the best selling Emma bag, the Stella had a fun accent detail on the band and 2 O-rings on the strap! Why 2 o-rings? So you can easily clip it to your stroller! Snap it on using most stroller straps and you are all set! <br />
<br />
Add a zipper closure and zipper cell pocket for a truly custom bag! <br />
Coordinating changing pads also available!<br /><br />Check out these bags from the new Chevron fabrics!<br />

Festival, Here I Come!If you're in the Bozeman area, stop in and see me at S.L.A.M. Festival August 4-5. Supporting Local Artists and Musicians, this FREE art and music festival showcases only Montana talents. I am beyond thrilled to be part of this years event. As a visitor to last years inaugural festival I know that this year will be amazing! With two little ones I loved that it was FREE so we could wander the art vendors, munch on local goodies, listen to and watch the musicians and even participate in the kid activities for as long as the boys would allow. Bring a blanket and picnic on the lawn, shop the Montana made art and support your local Montana artisans. <br />
