About this Product
Introducing my latest collection of Tote Bags, Backpacks, Purses, and Laptop Cases. Each piece is meticulously handmade using materials that push the boundaries of their intended use.
This innovative line features vinyl prints sourced from 15th-century etchings, prints, and drawings, seamlessly blended with imagery from my own paintings and photography. The result? A striking fusion of old and new, breathing new life into forgotten works and creating entirely unique designs for each bag.
But that's not all. Every tote bag and purse is thoughtfully lined with Eco-Felt, a sustainable material crafted from recycled fibers that mimic the luxurious feel of wool felt. Our backpacks boast a second layer of vinyl lining for added durability, ensuring they stand up to the rigors of everyday use.
And for those seeking style and functionality for their tech gear, our laptop cases are dyed using sublimation techniques on eco-felt, marrying form and function seamlessly.
With this collection, you're not just carrying a bag – you're carrying a piece of history, art, and sustainability wherever you go.

How it’s Made
Each item in the collection undergoes a meticulous handmade process to ensure quality and uniqueness:
Material Selection: The process begins with selecting high-quality materials. This includes sourcing vinyl prints from 15th-century etchings, prints, and drawings, as well as gathering imagery from paintings and photography.
Design Creation: Using a combination of traditional and digital techniques, the designs for each bag are meticulously crafted. This may involve digitally manipulating and merging images to create cohesive and visually striking compositions.
Printing: Once the designs are finalized, they are printed onto the vinyl material using high-resolution printing techniques. This step ensures that the intricate details and vibrant colors of the designs are accurately reproduced.
Cutting and Assembly: The printed vinyl is then carefully cut and assembled according to the specific pattern for each bag style. This process requires precision and attention to detail to ensure that each piece fits together seamlessly.
Lining: Each tote bag and purse is lined with Eco-Felt, a sustainable material made from recycled fibers. This lining adds a luxurious feel to the bags while also providing durability and structure.
Additional Features: Depending on the style of the bag, additional features may be added, such as pockets, straps, and closures. These details are carefully integrated into the design to enhance both functionality and aesthetics.
Finishing Touches: Once assembled, the bags undergo a final inspection to ensure quality and craftsmanship. Any necessary finishing touches, such as stitching or trimming, are completed to perfection.
By combining traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques and sustainable materials, each item in the collection is not only a work of art but also a testament to the dedication and skill of the maker.
