Northcott Wilson Artisans





























Julie Northcott Wilson is a former fashion designer from Philadephia, PA. She changed her focus from clothing to accessories when moving to Williamsburg. Pictured are some of her lovely,colorful creations! Julie was one of the original inspirations for me wanting to start sharing some of the talented folks I'd met in Williamsburg with friends & neighbors! My husband saw her with one of her purses in the Grocery store- said "My wife would love that purse- where did you get it?" She said - "I make them"...he said "Could I have your card?? He gave me her address & arranged a time for me to go " Birthday shopping at her house" - just a neighborhood away from ours! I came home with not 1 bag- but 2! And couldn't wait for winter to come - so I could buy some of her wool- felted bags....




Her purses take me back to some of my favorite shops/markets in in the Pacific Northwest- What more can I say to compliment her!! :)
