Tina Ruth handbags, satchels, and coin purses are characterized by fantastic imagery, one-of-a-kind body shapes. Each individual bag, or limited edition, is geared towards exploring a particular theme inspired by the natural world.

    Images develop by layering broad fabric shapes with free-hand machine embroidered stitching to create intricately abstract patterns with painterly texture and dimension. Each bag can take anywhere from 3 to 20 hours to complete.

          For added strength each bag has a reinforced lining in between and the stitching it glued to provide further durability. All pieces come with a hand printed label indicating the title of the bag, it's edition number and placement in that particular series (i.e. 1/6, 2/6 ....). Then they are dated and signed.

CARE: Hand wash cool water; soak 5 min then spot clean with a damp cloth and mild soap (if needed). Lay flat to dry. For lint, use lint trimmer or a shaving razor, lightly cutting off nibs.
