Fairfax is the first bag that I have designed and marketed that I haven't made for myself first. This is probably a good thing since I only need so many handbags, but it feels a little strange to not know from experience how it's going to last or describe just what I love to carry in it.
Fairfax is my happy-accident bag. I knew the general shape I wanted it to be but was having a hard time deciding how I wanted the handles to attach. That problem was solved when I caught a glimpse of a handbag carried past me in a restaurant It had just the right kind of handles for incorporating into the Fairfax design. To top off the happy accident part of it all, when I got out my fabric out to start cutting, I realized that a bad cutting mistake while making Elinor bags made perfectly sized rectangles for Fairfax.
Like the Elizabeth bags, I have two Fairfax bags to sell: one in pink sprig and one in lily-of-the-valley.

Fairfax's unique handle design adds pretty gathers around the edges of the bag and makes the inside more spacious.
