Lexington, VA (ContentDesk) June 10, 2004 -- Pilgrim Designs, known for personalized handcrafted handbags, has introduced a new line of colorful PDA cases at PilgrimDesigns.com.
Each PDA case is custom made from Pilgrim's collection of richly colored fabrics.
A Pilgrim PDA case makes a stylish statement all its own.
Out with the bland conservative cases our fathers would carry and in with something so fresh and charming you'll want to show it off not stash it away in your purse.
"Our PDA cases are functional, but have a fantastic fashion twist of color, texture, and style," says Pilgrim's founder, Jill-Anne Partain.
"Most of the PDA cases on the market are so conservative and dull, it only made sense to start crafting them in punchy fabrics and prints."
So stylish are the cases that they can double as a day or evening clutch when you only need something small for credit cards and money. Since Pilgrim's inception in 1998, personalization and craftsmanship have been the cornerstone of the unique handbag firm.
These same qualities are in Pilgrim's new personalized PDA cases. Customers may have one covered in the same satin and lace fabric to match a favorite evening dress, or have a beloved photo printed on rich satin fabric and transposed onto the case.About PilgrimThe Blue Ridge Mountains might seem like a far cry from cutting-edge design studios in Milan or New York, but it's not as far off the fashion radar as one might think.
Nestled in its foothills is where you will find the headquarters of Pilgrim Designs a noteworthy line of custom-crafted handbags.
This is a region where textile mills and sewing factories once thrived and a solid work ethic prevails to this day.
It's also a region that Partain believes in growing her label to retain the craftsmanship so rare in this time of mass-production.
"Anyone can sketch and design a handbag, but not anyone can literally make one with their own hands," says Partain.
In a class of its own, Pilgrim is a marvelous display of creativity and craftsmanship.In December 2002 Pilgrim won Inc magazines Startup Strategy award.
Partain appeared on the cover of that issue.
She joins the ranks of only a handful of designers to appear on the cover of a national business magazine.
Pilgrim handbags and award winning website have also been featured in magazines such Us Weekly, Harper's Bazaar and InStyle.For more information, log on to www.pilgrimdesigns.com.
