Pamela Barsky

Quaint & adorable, surrounded by plain WIT. Smart, savvy, sayings on canvas bags that not only make delightful, useful gifts but I have some myself. Washable! When I’m having a rotten day -& I pull out one of those bags, (not only for make up but holds various stuff I carry two) I am guaranteed a smile! Some have cute drawings, sayings, some might contain the F word (if offended you have lots of other choices!), plain fun! My favs ‘Spaghetti Changed My Life’ ‘Apply Mascara on Yourself Before Helping Others’ ‘Where Do New Yorkers Come From’. I love these bags & this tiny– mighty shop!

Worst service in my life. My 14 year old bought a bag and we thought it was a bit inappropriate so 10 minutes later we tried to REPLACE it for another. She was so rude. Can’t do that she said? Really??? 10 minutes for a return!!! My daughter was crushed and no good reason given. I’ve bought here in the past and actually like the product, but I would never ever go back. No need today for this.

Love Pamela’s bags and so glad she’s finally opened her own store! These are great gifts for friends and family, especially if you’re not looking to spend a crazy amount of money. Her bags are definitely a ny staple already– can’t wait to see her business grow!

I loved Pamla’s cute and witty bags. The sayings were so smart. The bags aren’t much to look at, but the sayings on them make them cute, and it makes me feel good to support a local artist. I went to her pop up Christmas shoppe in Union Square, she also has a studio and a business on Etsty. The bags are expensive for what they are (plain canvas stitched bags with a metal zipper and screen printing) starting at $ 14 for the smallest bag and going up from there. I had a less than stellar interaction with her after I asked to exchange one of the two bags I purchased for one with a different saying (the person I wanted to give it to was offended by the phrase I chose). She was curt and rude. She insinuated that I was unhappy because I don’t like to be told «no.» Wow! She has some issues, which is probably why she comes up with these outlandish sayings, but it does not serve her well for getting (or should I say keeping) customers. I would not buy her merchandise EVER again.
