Beth Adams, lovingly nicknamed Dolly, has been designing & creating handbags & accessories for 20 years! From composition to construction and all the details in between, she makes everything personally, and it’s a creative process that she thoroughly enjoys. Her signature touch is evident in the details, which makes her creations so special. Beth’s formula includes crafting with higher end techniques and luxury materials to truly create a treasure to behold, and designed to hold your treasures too!
As an independent artist, Beth finds it incredibly fulfilling to support and promote other artists, and this has become a foundational piece for her brand. So, when one of her favorite designers, Johanna Parker, expressed interest in collaborating with her, she was absolutley thrilled! Johanna’s surface pattern designs pair perfectly with the Dolly Valentine style, as Beth specializes in working with fabrics that have a cute vintage vibe with a little dose of spooky, too!
It was love at first sight when Dolly Valentine tagged Johanna in a Halloween Valentine post on social media! The vintage retro vibes of Beth’s style and brand, expressed through handmade pouches, coin purses and heart shaped handbags featuring Johanna’s fabric designs were a marvelous treat to see! Johanna was drawn to Beth’s pairing of patterns and the medley of playful details from silver star zipper pulls and matching feet, trimmed zipper flaps and coordinating pocket accents to Dolly Valentine’s sweet emblem and tag branding. The two continued to stay in touch, and once the stars aligned, a match was made! When Johanna received a set of JPD-inspired Dolly Valentine Luna Loves Stars & Harlequin themed samples, Johanna was over the moon! And, as Beth absolutely loves making bags with Johanna’s fabric designs, this collaboration is simply a match made in heaven!
Dolly Valentine collaborative items are sourced from custom fabrics that are designed and made in the USA! While Beth’s production times may take a few weeks, her collectible bags are worth the wait! As collections are released, be sure to reserve your faves to enjoy for the fashion, function and fun of it all for many years to follow!
Keep an eye out for more collaborative handbag styles along the way!
