Customer Testimonials

Thanks Lisa,
I just wanted to say that I was really impressed with the purse kit! The instructions were so clear that I was able to make it in a couple of hours.  It had its first outing last night and it did me proud :-)  I live in Germany and I was so pleased everything went smoothly with delivery.
You're welcome to quote me in your testimonials!

Hello Hello!

I want to let you know that the purse frames are terrific and I just cannot believe they got here in under 7 days... all the way from UK to USA. I will be buying more I promise, your product is awesome and so is your customer service! The little vegan-esque candies were a nice treat too! Thank you for making this such a stress free transaction. Have a wonderful week!

Just a quick word really to say what a fantastic website you have.  I literally stumbled across it while at work (don't tell the boss) and your site has currently been on my screen for the last 4.5 hours (inbetween doing some work (I use the term "some" rather loosely here), I've been going through your site.

I have been toying with the "making of bags" idea for a little while now, and hey presto, you give all the information one could desire from start to finish.  Thank you so much. Absolutely fab!

That's all, just thought it needed saying.

Kindest regards

I wanted to let you know that I received my two toffee apple baguette clutch kits yesterday and was literally giggling like a school girl. I cannot wait to try making this adorable little purse. Great fabric, pattern and overall design.

Kudos!

Lisa, Lisa, Lisa!
My package arrived today and it was like Christmas! EVERYTHING surpassed my
already high expectations! Without exception every frame, ring, and clasp was even more beautiful in person and excellent quality! I guess I'll have to use your word 'gobsmacked' to express my feelings since we don't seem to have an appropriate equivilent. If anyone is 'just looking' at your offerings I would encourage them to run, don't walk to grab their
credit/debit card and ORDER! I'll be back again and again and again! No problem with the 1" ring back order. If it's possible you might drop me a note before you ship because I'll probably want to order some additional
things.

Thank you so very much. Marian T.
From Marian in New Mexico


Hi Lisa,

What a great job youn did!!!!! I recieved the parcel this morning and I was delighted with what I saw. Your product "Vilene" are just great. I won't tell the price in France.....
I will try to do my first bag this week, and I will send you a picture if I found it nice!!!! I just forgot the bag feet, so I won't be able to finish my bag, but I will have a good idea of the shape.

I wish you a good WE, and look forward to make business again.

Bye

Thank you for the quick response for my exchange request.  I am very impressed with how quickly I can get all the bits and pieces from you.

I have recently found your website and have already purchased several items.  I was never sure where to buy fittings to make bags but having discovered you I can't wait to get started.  A bit too late to start making present for this Christmas but next year everyone gets a new bag!.  Thanks for a great resource.  Joyce, Leeds

From Joyce in UK


Hello Lisa,

Thank you for my goodie bag which arrived this morning - especially cheers for the lolly-pop!  I'm desperate to use all the frames but must show some restraint because I'm behind hand for Christmas pressys - as usual- and some of the frames are just for me to play with!

You must be the only person in the UK stocking hex-frames, and now in several sizes, which is great.  I've had them previously from the States but ordered some soon after 9/11 (?7/11) and they didnt make it.......I suspect US customs probably blew them up.  So you've come to my rescue.
    
Thanks again for the speed of your delivery.  Happy Crimbo,
           
Best regards,

Enid ( one of the great Tribe of BagLadies). From Enid in UK


Dear Lisa

Thanks so much! I am REALLY happy with my order!

You have a good week too!
 
Yours in bag-making bliss

Hi Lisa, In reply to your message about my request for LOT 6940, I had some of the Jet Cascade delivered last week and I need another skein. If you still have any bearing the same dye lot 6940 on tthe label I would prefer one of those as sometimes the shades vary, but no problem if you don't have that dye lot - I will just take one of whatever you have in stock. Whilst writing I would like to compliment you on your fabulous website and your speed, efficiency and reliability in despatching orders. I have been delighted with everything I have received. I adore the Noni bag patterns and the Cascade is a dream to knit and felt with! Kind regards, Lesley Lesley in UK

Hello Lisa, I would just like to thank you for the extremely efficient service offered by u-handbag. I was quite astounded to receive my first package in the first post the day after I ordered, especially as I hadn’t sent the order until 4o’clock! The handles are not actually for making bags, but to tie ribbons to for waving when we take part in our local Christmas Lights parade. We looked everywhere for something suitable and these fit the bill perfectly. I am now tempted to explore the possibility of bag making myself, so will be visiting your site again for guidance and inspiration. Thanks again for such good service. Regards, Linda Linda in UK


Thanks Lisa for a fantastic service. I got the iron-on interfacing this morning and I am itching to start making my first handbag. I can't wait! I will definitely send you some pictures and placing another order soon. Yamie in UK


Thank you for an amazingly efficient and speedy service.
I look forward to using you again. Lucie in UK


Hi Lisa Wow ~ what a great service, ordered yesterday, received today excellent! Regards Claudia Claudia in UK

Hi Lisa,

Just want to thank you for your inspiration and lovely products. I send you some pictures of bags I made with your fabrics. I was so sad to find that the "Bag Lady" fabric is sold out. If you by any chance will get it back in, I will be the first to buy... Just loved it - and so does my ousin, who now has the bag. Just placed another order with you and cannot wait to receive it, as I have loads half-made projects waiting for that "little extra" that you provide.
Also want to thank you for your prompt and lovely service. Fantastic!! Akhila in UK


...thank you received the lovely material, and will send for more later. The order was so quick could not believe it. Anne-Marie in UK

“This is a brilliant site for anyone wanting to make one-of-a-kind handbags. Hosted by Lisa Lam, it provides a one-stop-shop including designs, fabrics and hardware. Navigating through the site is easy as everything is categorised and for those who are new to the craft there is plenty of helpful advice. The range of bag handles is particularly good with a variety of styles including classic bamboo, carved wood, funky plastic, ethnic rattan plus metal frames and chains that are ideal for evening bags. Fabrics and patterns include the lovely Amy Butler ranges, and there are also a couple of free designs on the site for a classic tote and a basket-style bag. Other delectable items include fabric flowers, feathers and beaded trims, in addition to construction essentials such as magnetic closures, bag feet, and suitable interfacings that are all available to order online. Delivery charges are very simple with a flat rate of £2.95 or free for orders over £35 so it’s well worth getting together with like-minded friends. We placed an order mid-week and it was received the following morning. There is an inspiring gallery of bags made by Lisa and her customers lest any encouragement is needed to have a go!” SEWING WORLD MAGAZINE UK (July 2006. pg. 70)

That was so quick! I only placed my order number 179 at lunchtime yesterday and it's here already. The photo you use for the handles on the website doesn't do them justice.
They're even nicer in the flesh. Look forward to using you again, Sara in UK

Your website is beautifully designed in a really lovely friendly way, I am so pleased with the order you have sent me, and i hope to be able to order again for other projects. I thought your fabric selection was very eye catching! I like your sample pictures which are really good at inspiring with uses of material and on how the bamboo handles look when made up as I have never used them before.

Thank you so much, its always such a delight to recieve the parcels of goodies. Michaela in UK

Hi, I just wanted you to know that I received my handles and fabric this morning. The fabric looks so much better in the flesh; I almost can’t bear to cut into it. Great service (thank Lisa for her advice) and a great choice of handles for a change. I’ll definitely buy from you again. Wendy in UK
