I did a search for this and only came up with a few references within other threads. . . Has anyone had experience with their products?

I'm suddenly in the market for a new purse (old canvas purse + kitty with UTI = bad combo) and I came across Queen Bee Creations on a couple of different vegan sites. I instantly LOVED the truckette bags and, seeing as how they look very durable and are indisputably cute (and vegan/ethical), my fingers are twitching to order one.

However, I thought I'd ask around before dropping the $60. Any opinions? Caveats?

Here's the link to the products I'm talking about. . .

Yes, I'm replying to my own thread. :)

I found a lot of great reviews, so I went ahead and ordered one. I'll reply to my thread again, and let people know what I think of it. :D

I've had a Queen Bee wallet for several years now and I love it. It's really unique and it holds up well to daily use. I wish it were a little smaller, but overall I'm very satisfied.

You should! :)

I went with the "Chirp" in brown, because it has cute birdies and I think it suits me. Although I agree that the Poppy one is beautiful too!

Glad to hear it! Thanks for the reply. :) I'm tempted to get a wallet later on, if I like the bag.

Okay, I received the Chirp bag in the mail, and I love it! I've been using it for 3 days. It's very roomy and light, but durable. Any dust or dirt wipes right off. And you can tell it was hand-stitched and lovingly made. :)

Highly recommended!

Also, a brief note. . . I purchased this from BuyOlympia.com. They are a small company (three employees!) that ONLY buy and distribute products by independent artisans. The service was very personal and the bag shipped within about 10-12 hours. Pretty impressive, considering that I placed the order on a Sunday.

Yes! I love Queen Bee Creations! I have a truckette and I took it with me to Alaska and it was great! It poured rain and everything inside was dry and it just wiped off no problem. I get lots of compliments on it as well. They are a so nice and buyolympia.com is a great shop as well!

It's great to support local artists! Way better than the mass produced crap!
