Design Consultant Spotlight: Kaleena Hall

Kaleena Hall joined the LexiWynn team in January of 2012. 


Kaleena was first exposed to LexiWynn when she was working as an independent sales consultant for a beauty company.  Both her beauty company and LexiWynn participated in a Christmas boutique/fundraiser where she was placed next to Alexa who was showing some of our handbags.  She later told us that she could see how excited people were to see the bags.  While she wasn’t able to stop by the booth herself, she could not stop thinking about the bags and how much she wanted one of her own.  

She began hearing about a custom handbag company that a friend of hers was working for.  Her friend would post pictures online and the more pictures Kaleena saw, the more she wanted to know how she too could design a bag for herself.  As she began browsing the website, it dawned on her – these LexiWynn bags were the ones that she had seen back in Illinois at the Christmas fundraiser.  The more she visited the website, the more interested she became in our company and bags.  The “Join Our Team” link popped out at her every time she logged on, but she brushed it to the side.  She was nervous about asking what “joining the team” meant - she had been part of an at home direct selling company before and the pressure to sell and be better than others made her never want to do it again.  However, she prayed about it and felt as though it was what she was supposed to do.  She eventually filled out the form.

Kaleena got in contact with Seth and we shared with each other a bit each other and a little about LexiWynn.  We outlined where we saw LexiWynn going in the future and what type of people we hoped would work for them.  Kaleena's hesitations seemed to be put at ease and she became very enthusiastic about joining our team.  We are so grateful for the time and energy that she has put into LexiWynn!

If you live in the Southern California area and would like to make a bag of your own or host a purse party, feel free to contact her at kaleena@lexiwynn.com.

A Fireproof LexiWynn

This is for Bill! Happy Memorial Day, thanks for your service as a fireman!

A while back, Bill called the LexiWynn workroom and proposed we build his wife a custom LexiWynn handbag from his retired fire coat. Always open to a fun project we talked through purse styles and made arrangements for his coat to make's it way from Alabama to our Libertyville workroom.

Our Process:
1st a visit to our Cutting Department:
Bill's Fire Coat...
Our Personal Shopper Guide... 



Cut
A heavy duty brass zipper
















































#2 Pre-Sewing on our Industrial Straight Stitch Machines. 1500 watt servo motors and 46lb nylon thread  equal a high quality bag (of course handmade in the USA too!)

Yes that is quilted Nomex lining... Fireproof LexiWynn!
Pockets, Labels and Zippers get placed in "pre-sewing"
#3 Then it is on to Sewing.  Our Industrial Walking Foot Machines using 69lb Nylon thread are used in this stage of our process.
I spy that Bill picked our Adrienne for Stephanie's bag... Cool!

High night time visibility!
Thick thread, a big fat "blade" needle and a strong motor required!

Careful sewing from an experienced Operator too...

Slouchy Bookbag featuring a New Fabric!


This is a great Slouchy Bookbag that we made for our friend Joan who recently moved to the Detroit, Michigan area. 
Slouchy Bookbag $85

We are excited about this bag in particular because it features a gorgeous new turquoise blue fabric that we will be carrying soon!  As you can see – the fabric looks great with the lime green and grey fabric on the front pocket.  Are you excited about this new addition to our fabric inventory?  We sure are!
