Fodor's Expert Review Laura Bee Designs
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
If you have the design chops but can't find your way around a sewing machine, Laura Bee is the place for you. This fun studio shop gives creative types a chance to design their own handbags and wallets—pick the fabric, the bag type, embellishments like vintage buttons and ribbon trim, and extras like interior zip pockets and places to stash your cell phone. There are also ready-made products if you'd rather leave the designs to the pros.
