Designer Timmy Woods is one of the most extraordinary accessory designers of our times. She crafts extraordinary accessories, which are sold in the world's finest (and most expensive) stores and boutiques. Her purses are highly sought after by collectors. Many are crafted from fallen Arcacia trees. The wood of these trees is incredibly sturdy, and yet is very lightweight. Each purse is handcrafted by master craftspeople. We are an authorized Timmy Woods distributor. Along with your purse, upon request, you will receive a copy of a picture we took of Timmy Woods holding the Santa XIV, when we met with her in her showroom.

Each year, for the past 14 years, Timmy Woods has designed a special collector's edition, Santa of the Season and this year it is Santa XIV which has been designed to be carried as a shoulder bag. This is a magical St. Nick with charm, antique coloring and flavor, and a first ever wooden bead shoulder strap. A fun Santa with the touch of Swarovski Crystals in all the right places, Santa's topped with a faux mink and large crystal studded golden hat. It is a beautiful handbag and another Collect-a-bag from Timmy Woods' seasonal creations. The collector numbered Santas are immediately retired at Christmas of the year it is designed, never again to be issued. These Christmas Santa differs each year, and have become highly desired collector's items.
