ABOUT TIMMY WOODS HANDBAGS

Timmy Woods is president and owner of Timmy Woods Beverly Hills, a designer and manufacturer of fashion forward, highly collectible, fine quality, wearable art handbags for women. They are loved by men for their craftsmanship.

Timmy Woods was inspired by handmade wooden boxes. She sees these handcrafted wooden handbags as a fresh statement in fashion and as sculptured pieces of art. Most of Wooden Series bags are handcarved of unendangered wood from fallen acacia trees in the Philippines.and then skillfully molded to accentuate the magnificent wood grains. Each bag is cut from one block of wood and the front and back must be made from the same block so it follows the same lines. It takes approximately 30 days to make each bag.

Her bags have been seen on Friends, Sex and the City, The West Wing, and on the First Lady's arm. Timmy sent Mrs. Laura Bush a White House handbag. The list of celebrities who carry and collect Timmy's high fashion bags include Angela Bassett, Elizabeth Taylor, Diana Ross, Patricia Heaton, Sarah Jessica Parker, Barbie Benton, Jody Fisher, Melanie Griffith and Hilary Clinton!
