Lisa Lam

Lisa Lam is a London College of Fashion graduate and the founder and owner of U-Handbag.com – an online store specializing in bag-making supplies. She is a prolific bag designer and regular contributor to craft magazines. Lisa's blog is followed by thousands of crafters who admire both her passion and the quality of her bag-making advice.

Lisa was born in the UK to parents for whom DIY was a way of life. As a child she loved experimenting with her Mother's huge 70s fabric stash. Fun school holidays were spent sewing up Sindy Doll dresses or crafting cars out of big cardboard boxes. Now Lisa has grown up nothing has really changed except that she has her own (out-of-control) fabric stash.

Not only is she passionate about making bags and sewing in general, Lisa is passionate about sharing her sewing knowledge. She is the author of THE BAG MAKING BIBLE (David & Charles 2010) and A BAG FOR ALL REASONS (FW Media 2012) which have sold over 100,000 copies worldwide. Her creations have been widely published in both the US and UK craft markets and her colourful and entertaining blog, U-Handblog, consistently ranks in the top 10 craft sewing blogs worldwide. Her books focus on bag design and construction techniques to show new and more experienced bag makers how to design and handcraft their own boutique style bags (without a bag frump in sight).
