Letters & Testimonials


Hello Karla, 
I wanted to express my gratitude for the wonderful bag you made for me. It's been incredibly helpful during my hip recovery, allowing me to easily carry essentials like my phone and tissues while on crutches. It's truly a lifesaver! Thank you so much for your thoughtful creation—it's been a great help in many ways.

Thank you Karla for the beautiful  bag you made me for my birthday. I love the details you see in the photo. The organic cotton is soft and strong at the same time, and the colour composition is gorgeous. You are a true artist.  This will enrich my life for a long time to come. I will cherish both the bag and the interwoven inspiration manifested in the result. - Trudi

These bags and crocheted goodies, designed and handmade by Karla, are not just for the moment; they truly withstand the tests of time. I seem to have acquired a small collection of these beloved items that date back to the early 90s. Even the older pieces don't feel dated; they are just what they are: little purses, waistcoats, water bottle carriers, hairbands—all useful, all one-of-a-kind, made and designed by Karla. It always amazes me how, from her imagination, without patterns, she works out how to produce something both creative and technical.

The latest addition is a dinky zipped black bag, which I just love. Adorned with kitsch sequined lip and lipstick patches, it at first seems perfect for a makeup bag, but it is far too sweet not to be seen and is perfectly glamorous enough to take out and about. It's just roomy enough to stash the mobile phone and keys, ready to rock and roll with its 1950s vibe. Not only does it look good, but it is also tactile and light. With a little bit of care, all these handmade items become heritage pieces.

I see my niece taking a keen interest in all these crocheted things, valuing their uniqueness, but I am not passing them on to her yet. 

Knowing that they are not mass-produced also makes these items so much more personal as gifts for someone with a little more character, who enjoys something outside of the mainstream. 

It will lift anyone's spirits again and again, especially your own!

Karla, thanks so much for creating these bags. Couldn't decide which colour out of two beautiful combinations so bought both and custom ordered a third.  They are gorgeously individual.

Last holiday I went to Moraira in Spain for the 2nd time. After a few days I went surfing on Facebook and by chance ended up on the Facebook group Moraira Connect. After I became a member I came across an advertisement from Karla Darocas, she offered a beautiful handmade bag with black pearls. I immediately fell in love and decided to step out of my comfort zone and respond that I would like to buy this bag. As a souvenir of the holiday and that I would have something special instead of the tourist bags. After we had spoken back and forth via messenger we made an appointment at a local breakfast restaurant. 


The next day I went to the restaurant with my husband and son and met a friendly woman there. Loaded with a large self-made bag she showed me various items and the bag I had chosen. After I had bought some items and had a nice conversation I went home again. 

When I got home I had saw another bag that she had just finished and another one and decided to make a second appointment. Another nice conversation and during this conversation I said that the pearls of 1 bag went inside every time. Without hesitation she offered to repair it and make the bag. After I bought 2 more bags we went home. 

The next day was our last day and I went to pick up my bag. She not only had my bag but also quickly made a headband as a gift, this was a really sweet gesture. 

I am so happy with my bags and bracelets and that I got to meet you ๐Ÿ˜˜. I will definitely come back next time.

I first saw Karla’s boho bags on Facebook and as soon as I saw the blue one I knew I had to have it. It is beautifully made and a perfect size. There are lots of little details that I love - adjustable strap, drawstring closure not to mention all the lovely beads!
