Margaret Lajoie is the creator of the latest wave of unique wearable art coming out of White Rock’s vibrant art community. Whimsically dubbed “Mag’s Bags”, these exquisite handmade purses are quietly becoming the fashion statement of choice for those “in the know”.

Margaret started sewing at the age of 10 and was greatly influenced by her years growing up in Italy and England. Inspired by the unlimited scope of the handbag as a palette for one-of-a-kind design, Margaret offers absolute customization to those seeking that special “something”. Like Margaret herself, her trend-setting handmade gifts show a distinctively European flavour and exquisite craftsmanship.

Mag’s Bags is located in the scenic seaside community of White Rock, British Columbia on the west coast of Canada. Only minutes from the US border town of Blaine, White Rock’s main beach offers a wide selection of restaurants, bed and breakfasts and boutique-style shops.
