Doing It Myself (DIM)...

One item that has been on my wish list for a few years now, is the Celine Trio bag.  I would love to get one in my stocking this Christmas, but I know that's not happening.  Soooo, I thought I would turn this want into a Do-It-Myself project.   Yes, I'm going to attempt to recreate the Celine Trio bag, of course for my use only.  No knock-offs being sold out the trunk of my car.  :) Ha!  Until I get to Paris, this will have to do!
