Made on Long Island: Loretta Fay Crafted Bags in Bay Shore

Loretta Faye DiGugoria loves to design. The Bayshore mom works with different fabrics, colors, and patterns. She puts her personality inside each bag. Because I like to create, it's just been a pleasant addition to my life. Sewing is Loretta Faye's therapy. She spends a lot of time in this room. She turned her two-car garage into a sewing room. I manufacture handbags, all different types. From wristlets, crossbody bags, to totes, she handcrafts each one. And the Long Island tote is a hot seller. I was selling them at the Long Island Welcome Center. You can find the bags online and at local farmer's markets. I'll play with the fabrics. This is her side gig. She learned how to sew at a young age and got her kids into it. It's a hobby they love to do together. I enjoy working with them. I get to see them. Usually you don't get to see your grown children. You need the half-inch stick. Thank you. You're welcome. It's a hobby Loretta Faye wants to continue stitch-by-stitch with her sons. You wouldn't have it any other way. Right. Yeah. Yep.
