To order a Hound Bag, please email me at karen@gryffin-designs.com and I'll send you a photograph of what's currently available. For Mom's Hound Coats, we prefer that you try them on to ensure a proper fit, so please join as at one of our upcoming events.

Original quilted shoulder and clutch bags! Hound bags have a shoulder strap, and are a small, convenient size with a zipper closure. Just right for wallet, keys, phone, checkbook and a little leftover. I call these my clutter-busters, because these are large enough for the essentials, but not large enough to gather useless odds and ends. Hound Bags are $35 each, plus shipping. Recently I've started making smaller handbags that are offered at $25. They feature a zipper closure, a strap for hanging or carrying on your wrist, and quilting in an organic-looking curvy pattern. These bags are great for cosmetics, toiletries, art supplies, or as a clutch bag for an evening out.

My mother has created a series of lovely greyhound coats. They're unique, in that they are free-motion quilted, and each fabric is available in very limited quantities (often one of a kind). The exterior fabric varies, but each has a cotton batting, a fleece turtleneck collar, and is fleece lined for added warmth and comfort.

Here are a few samples, modeled by our retired greyhound, Kiesha ...
