Pet Photos teams up with well-known, Los Angeles designer Gina Alexander to bring you the very same handbags that are making all the buzz around Hollywood.
Each handbag features your favorite Pet Photos session image, where your photo background becomes the bag color - or the image can be converted to black and white, or duotone for a more neutral palette. Please allow 4-8 weeks for production of custom bags. A shipping fee of $14.25 will be added to all photo handbag orders, as the bags are shipped from the designer in California. I will contact you to make arrangements for pick up at the studio when your custom handbag is ready. Sales tax of 8.25% applies.
How it works...
Custom photo handbags may be ordered by Pet Photos studio clients. Add a photo handbag to any full length family and pet portrait session (Starter, Deluxe or Expressions package) or, if you want to order
only a bag, call me to schedule a short 15-20 minute studio session for $75, using your favorite background color to become the bag color. Then, you simply add the purchase price of your selected bag style. Please note that this special pricing is for 1-2 pets only.
Getting started
1. Select a handbag style (most popular styles shown below)
2. Pick your favorite horizontal photo
3. Let me know your selections
4. I'll prepare a digital preview of your order

What clients are saying...
"People actually stop me just to see my custom photo purse featuring my Westies. They want to know where they can get one too. At first I thought I would use the purse for just for 'good occassions,' but I end up using it every day!"
- Laurel
"My purse continues to get rave reviews. The rest of the doctors at work think it is awesome, as did my reception staff. At first no one realized that the purse photo is actually my dogs (they think it is one of those faux dog purses) but then when I tell them - they just can't stop talking about how great it is!"
- Tina
"The bag is great! I can't wait to show our guests this afternoon!"
- Kim
"It's great owning my first Gina Alexander bag with my beautiful puppies on it, because it means now I can have them with me all the time."
- Beth
"Thank you! I LOVE the purse it's adorable!"

"We went to out this weekend and had a fabulous time! I carried Sebastian's photo handbag with me everywhere and people were oooohing and ahhhhhhing constantly!"
- Leslie
Image Selection
Horizontal images work best. Your background color becomes the bag color.
Image Options
White backgrounds require an additional $25 setup charge. Can't decide on just one image? Add $50 sewing fee, and display a different second photo on the back side. Still not enough? Add a $75 design fee and create a unique four panel photo collage.
Payment and Pickup
Payment in full is required at the time of ordering. I'll contact you as soon as your custom photo handbag is ready, to coordinate pickup at the Lombard Pet Photos studio. Illinois sales tax of 8.25% applies to all orders.
Ordering Details
Please allow 4-8 weeks for production. Photo bags are a custom product, sorry there are no returns or exchanges.
Handle Length
The Classic, Fairfax and Julia bags hang approximately 11" down from the top of your shoulder when worn.
