Textiles + Bags
In 2019, I decided that I wanted to incorporate my art into products that are functional and utilitarian.
I illustrated a series of patterns which I then had printed onto cotton canvas. This became the raw material from which I began designing and sewing my own bags. I’ve designed them with a multifunctional strap to be worn different ways, because that is important to me when I’m shopping for a bag of my own. An illustrated tying guide is available for reference in case customers aren’t sure how to tie their canvas pack.
Every step of the process is done entirely by me, from designing and sewing all the way through to shipping and handling.
Bags are available in the shop.
