Have you heard of Laudi Vidni? It’s an amazing Chicago-based boutique offering custom leather goods out of Lincoln Park. A recently opened second location is at the Shops at Northbridge on Michigan Ave. Read on to find out how to design your Laudi Vidni custom leather bag >>

Laudi Vidni invited me to come take a look at their handbags and learn all about their design process. When I saw this fantastic Dolce Clutch in a gorgeous Emerald Green soft grain leather, it was love at first site! The soft luxurious leather in that bright green was the perfect color pop for my spring and summer wardrobe!
