This bag was designed based on the 1980’s and specifically the fashion. I hand painted a large painting onto a piece of red veg tan. The painting that I created is based off of the 1980’s windbreakers and more specifically 'Jams' Pants. The prints and patterns are wild and exciting and I wanted to create a painting that reflects that. I cut up the full size painting to get the pieces that I needed for my satchel and I began creating the bag. The bag is fully hand stitched and leather lined. I wanted this bag to be a mix of fun and luxury and I wanted to focus heavily on craftsmanship.
