Seraphina Crossbody Bag l Made to Order

Description

Introduction

Meet the Seraphina Crossbody Bag — a beautifully simple and practical design made for carrying your everyday essentials without the bulk of a larger bag.

Made to order by Made by Nette, your Seraphina is created around the colours, patterns and overall style you love. You choose the direction, and I’ll bring those choices together using carefully selected fabrics and finishes that complement your design.

With its clean silhouette, adjustable crossbody strap and secure zipped closure, Seraphina is an easy-to-wear companion for everyday adventures, days out and evenings when you want to keep things simple.

Guided by you. Designed by me.

Personalisation – Make It Yours

Your Seraphina begins with your ideas. Choose materials and finishes that reflect your personal style while keeping the original design and construction.

Main Outer Fabric

Choose the fabric for the upper front and back sections of your bag. This is the main fabric that sets the tone for your Seraphina.

Accent Fabric

Choose a coordinating fabric for the lower front and back sections and the handle connectors. Leather can be selected for these accent details, subject to suitability and availability.

Lining Fabric

Choose the fabric for the main lining of your bag.

Pocket Theme Fabric

Choose a coordinating fabric for the front zipped pocket lining, adding a little colour or pattern to the inside of your bag.

Hardware

Choose the hardware finish for your bag, including the zipper pulls, rivets, D-rings, lobster claws and strap triglide.

Made to Order, Not Completely Bespoke

The Made-to-Order Seraphina allows you to personalise the materials, colours and finishes while keeping the original Seraphina design and construction.

If you’d like to make substantial changes to the design, incorporate your own clothing or treasured textiles, or develop an idea that falls outside the available options, my Bespoke Commission service is the place to start.

Made to Order

Your Seraphina will be made especially for you once your order has been placed and your choices have been confirmed.

My usual turnaround is around three weeks, although this can vary depending on current orders, material availability and the time of year.

I’ll always aim to have your Seraphina on its way to you as soon as possible.

The Story Behind the Name

The Seraphina Crossbody Bag takes its name from Seraphina, a name associated with grace, beauty and light.

Inspired by the word seraphim, the name evokes a sense of elegance and timeless charm — qualities that suit this beautifully simple design.

Seraphina is intentionally understated: practical enough for everyday life, yet elegant enough to accompany you when you’re heading somewhere special.

Pattern Credit

The Seraphina Crossbody Bag is based on a pattern by Ire Heart Crafting.

Handmade Disclaimer

Every Made by Nette bag is lovingly handmade, so no two will ever be exactly alike.

Pattern placement, fabric details and finishing touches may vary slightly from photographs or from one Seraphina to another. These little differences are part of what makes a handmade bag special and give your Seraphina its own individual character.

Specific fabrics and finishes are subject to availability, but I’ll always aim to create a combination that reflects your choices and the Made by Nette style.
