Stars & Stilettos Hand-Painted Tote Bag

Stars & Stilettos was inspired by a boutique that carries a beautiful collection of red, white, and blue merchandise. While planning an order for their shop, I realized I had never created a patriotic design that truly reflected my signature style. Rather than a traditional patriotic motif, I wanted to create something fashion-forward and feminine. The result is a glamorous stiletto featuring stars, stripes, sparkling embellishments, and a touch of vintage-inspired charm. The silver background adds a sophisticated boutique feel while allowing the red, white, and blue details to shine. Like all of my designs, Stars & Stilettos is individually hand-painted and embellished before being sealed for durability, making each bag a unique wearable piece of art.

Each tote is a labor-intensive, mixed media masterpiece created in Dana's Las Vegas studio.

I spend 4 to 6 hours meticulously hand-painting and hand placing embellishments - including curated beads, charms, ribbons and metallic elements - making every piece entirely unique.

A professional gloss resin finish is applied to seal the artwork, which then cures for 24 hours to ensure high-gloss durability.

Because each tote is painted and embellished by hand, slight variations are part of the beauty and individuality of every piece.

Built for everyday life. The hand-painted artwork and mixed-media embellishments are permanently locked beneath a crystal-clear, water-resistant resin seal. This protective layer protects against cracking, peeling and scratching. To maintain its pristine boutique look, simply wipe the resin and canvas down with a soft damp cloth.
