Anna's inspiration came from a normal day’s shopping. She saw that all of the bags on the current market were the same and Anna felt She could try to do something different.

Anna started this a few years ago, when She thought she would try sewing a bag for fun. Anna really enjoyed making bags out of tweed aslikes the feel of working with tough material.

Each bag is different and so the process is never the same. Normally Anna find some fabrics and then see what kind of bag She want to create. Once an idea is in place Anna simply start sewing. Anna like to improve the quality of my bags with every new project.

Recently Anna started to work on an additional project using textile landscapes, which she sometimes incorporate into my bags.
