Every six months the Colors and Patterns change; Shapes may be tweaked; and new Bags are born. The maxim for these Vegan Bags goes like this:  If you love the color and woven pattern that you see now …

From Heart to Hand:

“We believe that creating small production runs of our bags within a cottage industry creates a product that is unique, well made and moves from heart to hand. As an American-based company, we seek to balance resourcefulness and creativity. After 20 years (!), we remain rooted in the principles of this philosophy.  However, ultimately it is the consumer who will determine the value placed on American made handcraft.

“Rich and bold in tones…Bountiful in touch. The textiles are creatively raw, with a hand loomed and hand stitched look.  In collaboration with our U.S. mills, our textiles are designed in house. Close to home, this ensures our renowned quality. Supporting these small, yet mighty, U.S. mills brings us joy! Our bags are kindly produced in Boulder, Colorado.”

Our fabrics…

 Our bags are made from a fabric called “Jacquard”…an intricately woven pattern using a special loom in the weaving process.  The conception of our fabric patterns begins with drawings, cut paper, collage and re-worked imagery.  We then collaborate with textile designers from select, smaller independent U.S. fabric mills, who bring our vision into fruition. 

The content of our fabrics are all Vegan and vary… The threads are cottons, rayons, and synthetics—many of which are from recycled plastic!”

 Cleaning Instructions:

Dry cleaning is our most recommended form of care. Should your bag have a hard bottom, this is a plastic insert, not cardboard… your cleaner may wish to know this. For light soil, you can also soak our bags in a mild dish washing liquid, no wringing or abrading the surface please. Lay the bag flat to dry, pulling the liner inside out.
