Unlike other quilted handbags, Donna Sharp patterns feature several fabrics that are stitched together and then quilted. The design process includes color-mixing, fabric selection and artful arrangement of fabrics into the final pattern that will be used across a variety of styles of handbags, accessories and apparel.

In addition to patchwork patterns, Donna also creates and releases wholecloth patterns each season. Each wholecloth pattern is a custom fabric or unique quilting texture, designed by and produced exclusively for Donna Sharp. Some wholecloth patterns are included in a coordinating patchwork pattern as with Glacier and Glacier Patch.

Donna releases a line of new patterns each Spring and Fall season. Also available in select styles are Limited Edition patterns which are released throughout the year.
