Bag Ladies of Sequim plan closure, move

Vicky and Sean Gray of Bag Ladies of Sequim have been making and selling Sequim slippers and wearable art by hand and out of recycled materials for 10 years. They’ve used donated blankets, blazers and jackets made from 100% wool, cashmere, camel and alpaca. Vicky has also spent years on the road with her wearable art, selling at trade shows all over the West.

Now its time to move on to be closer to their daughter with a new granddaughter on the way. Their shop at 247 E. Washington St. is closing Wednesday, July 17, though the Grays will have a booth at the Sequim Lavender Festival this year. The community is welcome to stop in to wish them well and pick up their art before they head out.

Bag Ladies of Sequim also sell their wares online at thebagladiesofsequimwa.com. The company doesn’t have plans to open a new shop in their new home in Idaho but are hoping to open a coffee shop soon where they can sell wearable art and hand-made coffee mugs.
