Karina Gaull loves to mix and match patterns, and her handmade bags are truly one of a kind. The graphic designer turned sewing artist crafts each pouch, tote, crossbody, backpack and wristlet with a thoughtfully curated combo of fabrics and stitching. “I pick a pattern and ask, ‘What do I want to make with this?’ It has to speak to me,” says the Arlington maker. Her current specialty: slouchy corduroy bags in myriad textures and colors. For a customized design, clients can select their own fabrics for a truly unique creation. –Jamie McCrary
