Barbara Crouthamel:
Barbara
J Crouthamel, Founder of Lovin My Bags which offers full Handbag Restoration
services as well as Handbag Beauty Care Products.
In 2003, Barbara received her Interior Design Diploma from Sheridan College.
She started using her design skills on leather, designing hand printed leathers.
Her leathers have been used on Designer furniture pieces and most recently
as part of her Exclusive line of Designer Leather Handbags.
Barbara has an International flair - having lived four years in Istanbul
Turkey, she developed a love for design and diversity that is revealed in
her leather fashions.
Lovin My Bags grew as an extension of the Handbag Design business. In 2006,
after a trip to Italy, Barbara realized the need for leather care specifically
designed for handbag leathers. She immediately collaborated with husband
Gary, who develops leather restoration systems and products, and created
Lovin My Bags, the only Company in the world that creates
leather care products
and services exclusively for Designer Handbags.
