The Alchemy of Alice' Tapestries - Alice's Tapestries designs and manufactures award winning tapestry bags and accessories. It is our handcrafted pins, elegant beads and sumptuous tassels that create the unique alchemy of Alices's Tapestries bags.

My mother, my sisters and all my friends who are my test market tell me the most wonderful stories. They are stopped on the street by strangers, or their bag was just the icebreaker they needed at a party.

Every bag is handmade and the buttons are created by Alice’s Tapestries by Alice and her assistant, Stephanie, at the workshop in Colorado. Please go and see our buttons/pins page so you can get an idea of the range we create to make our bags so special. Also visit our fabric page to view the stunning tapestries in this collection.

The bags are all decorated with our own buttons and beads we collect from all over the world along with yummy tassels, all to create a unique and wonderful bag for everyday use or special occasions.
