Welcome to the world of ellebee206! Beautiful clutches and scarves handmade in Seattle, Washington by Elle Batingan. We are so excited to share the story of ellebee206 and how Elle went from making clothes for her Cabbage Patch Doll as a kid, to now selling out of her beautiful clutches faster than she can make them!

Her gorgeous clutches and scarves are perfect for last minute holiday gifts or for New Years Eve. We are absolutely planning to pick up a few for our friends and family. (And of course just to keep!)

We recently had the opportunity to ask Elle a few questions about the story of ellebee206, which we are so excited to share today, plus a very special offer for Story of My Dress readers!

Please tell us a little bit about yourself.

Please tell us the story of ellebee206. How did it get started? 
I started sewing at a young age with my mother who worked as a seamstress in a factory when she came here from Seoul, Korea. We used to make clothes for my Cabbage Patch doll, Renee. I made a tulle skirt for myself for a Poshmark Meet Up I was co hosting in St Louis, from there, I began making clutches and posting them on Instagram. I had a lot of really good feedback and inquiries so I began listing them on Poshmark and it took off! Now I've expanded to my own website and was recently a panelist at Poshfest (a recent conference in San Francisco hosted by Poshmark)!

What are a couple of your favorite items currently available via ellebee206?
One of my favorite things is this chunky knit blue infinity scarf because it is so soft and cozy. This is "Seattle Rain."

Also this metallic gold leather envelope clutch, I call it "In Gold We Trust", it's so chic!

Finally one of my favorite vegan leather clutches is combined with faux fur as well. It's an awesome piece for mixing prints, which is a favorite style of mine. This one is {the luxe} in Leopard & Macaron.
