A number of years ago I remembering seeing an artist take very beat up vintage bags (particularly the kellys)
& do artwork not in this caliber but interesting & still having full use of the bag with disclosed distress areas
that probably could not be spa'd any longer
These are not for me but rather distinctive for the right person.

I had an artist paint a jige for me as a commissioned work. It returned out great and fun... something unique that I loved. I wasn’t using the jige prior to it being painted.

Art is subjective and none of these appeal to me.

editing—- i didn’t see the last bag — the bandana inspired B looks pretty good. I could go for that.

The bags posted above are not to my taste, there is probably someone out there who can rock them. IMO the Rouge H one is the best of the bunch. I’m the woman with the VN Henna bag. The artwork and design were VERY carefully considered prior to embarking on the project. It’s one of my favorite bags. And I have a line up of people who would love to buy the bag from me if I ever tire of it.

YESSSS!!!! This is the one I remembered! I would like to be on that list too! I think this is too cool. Do you use it often or is more for staring at?
