🌆 The City Bag

Meet The City Bag—a vintage-inspired hobo designed to keep up with wherever the day takes you.

Thoughtfully designed for comfort, versatility, and everyday adventures, The City Bag features an adjustable strap that lets you wear it your way. Keep it short for a classic shoulder bag, or lengthen it for a comfortable crossbody when you’re on the go.

Its softly structured silhouette is roomy enough for your daily essentials without feeling oversized, while the secure zipper closure keeps everything safely tucked away. Inside, you’ll find two slip pockets for easy organization, along with a convenient zippered pocket on the back for the items you reach for most.

Whether you’re exploring a new city, browsing your favorite antique shops, heading to brunch with friends, or simply checking off your to-do list, The City Bag is designed to move effortlessly through every part of your day.

✂️ Handmade Just for You

Every Dolly Valentine bag is lovingly handmade by me from start to finish.

From cutting your chosen fabric to sewing, stabilizing, assembling, and adding all the finishing details, each piece is individually crafted with care.

Please allow approximately 3–4 weeks for your bag to be completed before shipping.

Because every bag is handmade, pattern placement will naturally vary, making your handbag truly one of a kind.

🖤 Returns, Repairs & A Little Peace of Mind

Because each bag is custom made just for you using your fabric selection, I cannot accept returns or exchanges.

If your bag ever experiences a craftsmanship issue, though, please don’t hesitate to reach out. I stand behind my work and want you to love your Dolly Valentine bag for years to come.

🧼 Care Instructions

Spot clean with a damp cloth as needed for everyday care.

For a deeper clean, your bag may be machine washed on a gentle cycle using a phosphate-free detergent. Reshape if needed and hang to air dry.

With a little love and care, your Dolly Valentine bag will be ready for many adventures to come. 🖤

🖤 Welcome, Collector…

My customers lovingly call themselves Collectors, and I couldn’t think of a sweeter compliment.

Whether this is your very first Dolly Valentine bag or another addition to your growing collection, I’m so grateful you’ve chosen something handmade by me.

From an artist’s imagination… to my sewing studio… to your collection.

Love, Dolly 🖤
