Shari Gadson, the owner of GADS, creates the most beautiful clothing and accessories out of colorful african print fabrics.  If you have been looking for a bag to carry all of your dance stuff, or all of your regular stuff, then you have to check out these gorgeous tote bags.  Each bag is one of a kind, only one in stock, and once you purchase there will never be another like it.  You don't have to worry that someone else at your studio will have the same bag (how embarrassing).  Classy, sassy and historically significant these bags are a must have for everyone.

Sometimes in life you have a plan and sometimes the plan is already made for you. GADS was certainly the latter. I randomly bought a sewing machine and stored it for three years before pulling it out on the curiosity of “maybe I can sew?"

To my surprise, I was a natural at sewing. Perhaps it was my creative nature because the thought of combining raw fabric and materials to create an item that could I use in  everyday life excited me. 

Purses became my favorite item to sew and I soon expanded to polewear, swimwear, custom clothing, and other accessories. My philosophy has always been to merge fashion with function in a manner that reflects bold, unapologetic liveliness. My designs feature Ankara fabric, which contains vibrant colors, bold prints, and patterns in no set order. 

I decided to launch GADS to share my pieces with others. GADS Afro Luxe designs are handmade expressions of what I want in my everyday life: fun, functional, and fashionable pieces. When I could not find the designs I wanted in stores I made them and now they are also available for you. 

XOXO
