Nancy Alison Custom Beaded Purses was begun as an attempt to re-create beaded purses like those of the 18th and 19th century.  Most of my bags are made with the bead-knitting technique but some are crocheted. 
Although I have many beaded bags in stock, a Nancy Alison purse is unique, in that it is created individually, according to your specifications.  There are many designs and styles to choose from, or something can be designed from one of your ideas or motifs.
