"I bought some cowhide by mistake (I thought it was faux/imitation leather) and when it arrived in one long strip, I knew immediately what I wanted to create... and of course, if I can make it from leather, I can make it in cork!
The name tells it all with this make: it can be made as a clutch bag, but add two more lines of stitching and you have a whole other bag! Pop handles on, and you have a grab bag.
Easy, quick, versatile and timeless - what’s not to love?" - Natasha

Drop shipping is a supply chain management method in which the retailer does not keep goods in stock but instead transfers its customer's orders and shipment details to either the manufacturer, another retailer, or a wholesaler, who then ships the goods directly to the customer.
How do I know if my order is drop ship? Where you see another manufactures, suppliers or designers name displayed above the product titles, other than 'Natasha Makes' your order will be drop ship and delivered directly by another manufacturer, retailer, or wholesaler.
A Drop shipped item can take up to 3 - 5 days on top of the estimated delivery time on all products.
