About Alexi Handbags

Welcome to Alexi Handbags! Hope you enjoy browsing the fabulous selection of woman's accessories and shopping at our boutique. My name is Mary Bailis, the designer, manufacturer and owner of Alexi Handbags and Alexi Fashions. I have a wonderful husband and we have been blessed with three beautiful children, Stefan, Anissa, and Celina. I have sewn most of my life. At one time made all of my clothes and whatever else fabric and a sewing machine can do. I always enjoyed making items for myself so I had something different then everyone else. It finally occurred to me to use my talents and hobby to start a business. I started sewing and the orders kept coming. I knew I had a great thing going when I started to get a lot of repeat customers who loved their handbags. Soon people were calling me to host trunk show parties in their home. In adding embelishments to my evening bags, I was inspired to start making jewelry. I was bit by the bead bug! Hand knit scarves soon followed. I wanted to reach a broader audience and with many requests, this web site was created. My husband Robert, engineer and industrial designer, put together this great website. Enjoy and please let us know what you think.

Alexi Quality

The Alexi brand of handbags are custom designed and completely hand made. I carefully choose quality fabrics, trims and supplies by attending many trade shows in North Carolina and New York City. Only commercial threads are used with a commercial sewing machine to bring you top quality products.

Handbags with beading are all hand beaded with each bead knotted individually to assure quality. If you loose or snag one bead ( hopefully you won't) you will not loose the entire row, only that bead. The product description will indicate if the beading contains glass beads, genuine gemstones, or genuine pearls. So if it says genuine pierdot or garnet, it is real.

Every handbag, excluding the jean handbags have two inside pockets and a magnetic snap or button closure. The jean handbags are made from a pair of jeans. Handmade jewelry is also made from top quality beads, gemstones, crystal and pearls. All scarves are handknit. All meet our high quality standards. We will always be adding new products, so check back with us often. Remember to check the bottom of the handbag to make sure it has "Alexi" stitched on it.
