Permanent Baggage

 

If all mankind were to disappear,

the world would regenerate

back to the rich state of

equilibrium that

existed ten thousand

years ago. If insects were

to vanish, the environment

would collapse into chaos.


-Edward O. Wilson

Permanent Baggage is a line of eco-friendly handbags created from 98% re-purposed materials. The core material used in their creation is  recycled  plastic bags.

Every bag is one of a kind and handmade with love.

In the gallery you will find albums of previous and current creations, which includes  wristlets, handbags, shoulder bags, wallets, and coming soon- rings. 

I also encourage you to take a look at my Materials page where you will find info on the types of materials i use and how i go about collecting them.

My mission is simple, to create exciting and  environmentally friendly art. And to live my life in a meaningful way that makes it possible to do so.
You can find the complete history of this endeavor and Artist Statement on  the Message page.
