About Serene

Meet the Maker

I’m Serene, the maker behind SereneHandbags. Over the last fifteen years sewing has become my preferred way to express myself. As an artist, I’m visually inspired, drawn to bright colors, funky florals, anything with a vintage 1960s vibe. Mixing patterns and colors to create a unique bag is my passion. Each piece is handcrafted by me from start to finish, so every zipper, seam, and stitch carries a little bit of my personality.

On a personal note, I’m a mom to three adult children, one set of twins. If I’m not sewing, I’m out in the lovely Pacific Northwest whether hiking, boating or just staring at Mount Rainier - she’s a beauty!

I’m fortunate to spend my days playing in my studio surrounded by delicious possibilities. In addition to my handbag business, I sew clothing for myself, my home or even our boat. Growing and learning is my happy place.

When you use your Serene Handbag I want you to be flooded with joy, confidence & pride at owning something uniquely you.
