While making the rounds at a trade show in New York City, I stumbled upon West/Feren handbags and the delightful designer Alison Pawling. I was so smitten not only with her work and darling personality, but the soothing beachside vibe she created at her booth, that I just had to whip out my Flip Video and interview her. This is a young designer that has experience well beyond her years, as you’ll read below and see in her latest assortment of West/Feren day bags, weekenders and clutches.
