I am a fellow bag maker. I have been watching Josanne's work for the past couple of years. I have only seen excellence in her work. I am much older than Josanne but when I saw the purple alligator Alexandra Handbag, I just had to have it. I have gotten rave reviews from all of my friends. She is a bag maker who can be trusted. Her creations show such excellent skills. I carry mine everyday and am in love with the sturdiness of the bag and sure perfection of her work.
