Custom Ugly Bag

Each custom Ugly Bag is created using an authentic, vintage handbag, thoughtfully sourced and professionally authenticated before any customization begins. Every piece is one-of-a-kind and handcrafted in small batches. 

How it works

  1. Fill out the Custom Handbag Request Form.
  2. I will review your request form and confirm feasibility.
  3. Once your design request is approved, I will send you a quote.
  4. After you review and approve the quote, I will create a custom listing for you. 
  5. Once you purchase the custom listing, sourcing and customizations will begin.

Important Details

  • Final pricing depends on:
    • Handbag size (25, 30, or 35)
    • Condition and rarity of the vintage handbag
    • Customizations selected (dye, patches, straps, etc.)
    • Sourcing vs. sending in your handbag
  • Turnaround time varies based on design complexity and current volume. Please allow 4-5 weeks processing time before your custom bag ships. 
  • I only work on authentic designer bags. No dupes. 
  • All custom bags are final sale due to their personalized, handmade nature. 

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Can I send in my own handbag to have it customized?
    • Yes! You can send me your handbag for customization. Please note that I only offer the customization options on the request form and I only work on authentic bags. You are responsible for shipping costs related to sending in your bag. 
  • Are the bags you source authentic?
    • Yes. Every bag is 100% authentic vintage and professionally authenticated prior to customization. 
  • Can I send in my own patches for a custom patched handbag?
    • Yes! You can send me patches rather than having them sourced or you can do both. For example, if you have only a few that you really want to use, you can send those in and I can source the rest. 
  • Do you accept returns or exchanges?
    • No. All custom bags are final sale due to their personalized, handmade nature.
