People have asked me how I decide how which prints to mix when I'm constructing bags. There's no easy answer to that. Most often, I just start pulling fabric from the shelf and the right combination just jumps out at me. It looks and feels right. Sometimes, it's not that easy. I try to pick up a color tone or a motif shape if I can. If the bag has a theme--a western print, for instance--I try to find a lining that echoes that theme without being too cute. I avoid "matchy-matchy" to quote Heidi Klum. I'd rather have a totally mismatched lining that's a fabulous fabric on its own than something expected. I want you to look inside your bag and smile.
To answer another question: Yes, my zipper color choices are random 98% of the time.
