NOTICE: The Bag Lady is partially back in business! Construction continues slowly, but I am at a point where I can at least begin to offer some basic products again.
All my bags, as well as rear seat lifting straps are now available again. However, due to limited workspace, I can not, at this time, offer my MINI cargo liners, or any of my usual embroidery options such as lettering, embroidered cars, or smiley face bags. This also means that none of my embroidered clothing is currently available either.
As work is still underway at the house, orders will be a bit slow to get out. Please allow 2-3 weeks after you place an order. Orders may be filled more quickly, but it depends on what I am in the middle of with the house at the time of the order. Thanks for your patience and continued interest during this chaotic time. 25/07/2011-

Bag Lady News & Updates:
3/11/12 - Bag Lady is back... sort of... Construction just seems to be never-ending and it doesn't help that some personal things have gotten in the way of getting more work done on the house.
BUT, I'm at the point where I can at least begin to once again offer my basic bags and rear seat lifting straps. Space is limited though, so I can not, at this time offer any of my usual embroidery options, nor can I offer my cargo liners, or any of my embroidered clothing.
So, if you're looking for a basic tire bag, or travel bag, go ahead and place an order.
About the Bag Lady...
All standard bags are made of a durable cotton duck cloth (similar to canvas) available in a variety of colors. There is also an optional vinyl material available. This is a very high quality material that really simulates the look and feel of leather.
Thanks for stopping by!
Robyn, aka The Bag Lady
A Little Bag Lady History...The Bag Lady got started back in early 2004, when after not really doing any machine sewing since junior high school, I decided to make a bag to hold the compact spare tire for my 2003 MINI Cooper S. Feeling pretty happy with how the bag turned out, I posted a picture of it on NorthAmericanMotoring.com, then known as MINICooperOnline.com. The response was amazing and quite surprising. I set up a very basic website to start accepting orders. Most of the bag options you see on the site now are the result of requests from previous customers. Their orders turned out so nicely that I decided to add their requests as options.
The full-size bags, travel bags, cargo liners, and rear seat lifting straps quickly followed, again from my need/desire to outfit my own MINI. They quickly became customer favorites as well.
MINI owners were pretty much my exclusive customers for several years. However, with the launch of the Smart car in North Amercia, Smart owners have now become my second largest group of customers.
As more new cars are sold with only run-flat tires, and no spare, owners of additional marques have begun to visit the site. Those opting to get rid of their run-flats, who want the added security of a spare tire, have been ordering from the site with increasing frequency. Welcome to you all.
In an effort to expand my ability to do lettering on bag orders, I added a Pfaff embroidery machine in 2008. This opened up a new range of offerings... custom embroidered clothing, along with the ability to embroider more elaborate designs on my bags too.
