Give a pop of color with a ‘candy woolley’ handbag to a one color outfit, or break rules by mixing them with patterned prints as often seen on the major runways. Candy Woolley’s signature metallic python skins also add a luxurious touch to an evening event on or off the red carpet.
During the month of December 2014, tour the Sheila Payne Art Gallery at Plaza Del Mar in Manalapan, Palm Beach, Florida. In the side room there is a collection of handbags by Candy Woolley happily cohabitating with Sheila’s modern art. Around the gallery you will find collections of paintings, collages, sculptures, and stone necklaces with artifacts by Sheila Payne.

One of the type of events we enjoy doing are trunk shows, first, because they give us an opportunity to show our latest handbag creations. The people that attend get to shop designs that haven't yet been seen by anyone else. We also get to meet and mingle with many ladies of all ages and from all walks of life, this makes our clientele very diverse and we love it.
At the shows we bring a variety of designs and styles. Prices range from $35 for small leather goods to the most exquisite bag of $2,500. So, if you get a chance to attend one of our events, you will be sure to get a good time, learn our story, and perhaps even leave with your favorite 'candy woolley' bag. We also customize any handbag, so if you see something you like and would like it in a different color or different skin, we can certainly do that too if materials are available, if not, we will also suggest other options.
Our recent event was at Posh for Hair, it is an exclusive salon in Plaza del Mar in Manalapan, Palm Beach, Florida with an accessories boutique, the owner, Shelley Kerschner is a very joyful and pleasant lady to be around. This is our second trunk show in her salon in a one month period, due to the huge success of the first one, Shelley invited us to come back and we were very happy to accept!
Hannah, Taylor, and Ann Catherine from North Carolina were about to jump on their cruise to Cozumel with their family, they needed to purchase a little crossbody bag to take along, stopped by our trunk show and found exactly what they were looking for. They were such fun girls, we are wishing them a wonderful vacation on their cruise and a safe return to their home in NC.
Thank you all who made it, we truly appreciate the support!
