Obiandoli Artisan Bags
Meet the Maker
Hi there! My name is Laura, and Obiandoli (say oh-bee-AN-doe-lee) is a combination of my parents' surnames. It seemed a fitting name, since my parents were directly responsible for my love of sewing, fabrics, design and creativity. They opened a fabric remnant shop in 1950 and, over the next 40 years, grew it into the largest fabric and design center in northern NJ. My older brother continued the tradition with a to-the-trade-only design center in Naples, FL. Much of my collection comes from his retirement in 2013 - I inherited most of his showroom stock.
I started making bags somewhere around 2009 or 10 - and had an Etsy shop called LauraOhDesigns. One of my original bags was featured in a book called Seaside Home - I think that was 2012. Since I have such a large collection of fabric samples and swatches - putting them to good use making messenger bags, purses and totes was just a natural thing to do - and Obiandoli just seemed like the perfect name for the new shop.
Every bag that I create is unique and original, and I rarely use a pattern. Creating bags this way results in colors and textures you won’t find anywhere else. Sometimes I create "Frankenfabric" and then decide on which bag design to use - and sometimes it just happens piece by piece. By using fabric samples, I give new life to beautiful textiles while creating eco-friendly original bags, full of personality. I do use a pattern for the two-zipper wristlets - sometimes you just can't improve on a great pattern. Those are made using the Sunshine Wristlet pattern by Bagstock. If I use other patterns, credit is given to the designer in the descriptions.
Thank you for supporting hand-made, and thank you for supporting small-batch, sustainable craftsmanship at Obiandoli!
How it’s Made
This bag is made from a new showroom fabric sample - one reason for the small size. This is upholstery fabric, so stain resistant and durable. The lining is quilt cotton. Bag is interfaced with reinforced stitching, but it not otherwise padded.
This bag is hand-washable. Lay flat or hang to dry.
My studio is always smoke free.
