About Myself

 Hi: I am Tamara along with my husband Shane, we want to share our story on opening "groovy handbag", as I have been asked why not a painting studio?

For the people that know me, yes my first love is painting, I can spend hours creating very detailed paintings, attending painting convention, teach and just love it.  But for me I truly love to paint on my own.  

However, there is a very certain Backpack that Shane purchased for me 16 years ago, it went everywhere with me, it was so well loved that I truly needed to just retire it with a sad face 😢 but I still have it 😆.   Well that Backpack was made by ESPE, and I own 5 more handbags by ESPE.   I absolutely love ESPE handbags as they are Canadian-Design, Vegan Friendly, Bold, and Unique. They have so many styles that there is a handbag for everyone no matter what your style or taste is.  They are high quality Vegan, well made, and most of all so very affordable.  No matter where I go I always get so many compliments on my handbags.  Then my passion for the ESPE brand comes out when asked about them.  So "groovy handbag" was created and the rest is history.  

ESPE is pronounced SP, the E’s are silent.
Oh and that very well loved Backpack got replaced with a new one!👏👏
