Our Story

Bag by Dé Ashléy during a customer transaction.

Welcome to my website! My name is Ashley! I am a young Entrepreneur, as well as the Owner, and Founder of Bags™  & Dé Ashléy Designs™. I started drawing clothing at the age of  9, my idea was to one day own a business and have my designer clothing style brought to life! I began by printing templates of girls and drawing clothes on them with a 2b pencil.

One Christmas my parents got me a sewing machine, the funny part is that it sat in my closet for several years. After years of sitting there, my dad said "if you want to be a fashion designer why don't you try sewing the clothes you design." After, some much-needed encouragement I started to search youtube on how to use my machine.

I improved my sewing skills thanks to videos, sewing classes, and people in my life that know how to sew. That's when Dé Ashléy Designs was firstborn.

Later on, I advanced my skills by making little wristlets out

of simple cotton fabrics along with drawstring pouches.

Afterward, I even made tote bags and pillows and learned how to make clothing pretty well along the way; somehow, all roads always led back to bags.

I guess some would say "I have a passion for them"!
