About 

Bonjour. Hello Art Lovers! 
- My name is Catherine, an artist/artisan milliner (graduated from The Hat Academy in Australia) and self-taught bag maker, originally from France. 
- Tinaliah means to persevere. Design is my passion and therapy. 
- Having lived in Europe, Africa, the South Pacific and America I bring a global palette to my designs. 
- I have always used a lot of recycled and upcycled material because it makes good sense, and reduces cost. 
- As an artisan I spend hours perfecting fit, pattern, color, looks, you name it. Hope you like it.  

Text or email for an appointment, I might have a class in progress.
