And shoutout to for the amazing elephant print suede. I picked this up last September when I visited the tannery. Thanks to for always providing access to awesome leather to those of us who can’t buy large quantities directly from the tanneries. This black Italian calf is from district leather supply.

For anyone interested in this bag, I will have a very limited quantity of these, and once I’m out of the elephant print suede and black Italian calf, I won’t be able to get more. So, if you love this bag, jump on it and contact me for information soon.

We’re doing another shoot in September with more bags from the Landscape bag series. In the meantime, reach out if you’re interested in these bags.

More from the photo shoot with featuring bags from my new “Landscapes” bag series. I love how Mitch uses symmetry in urban landscapes in a way that aligns with the symmetry I used in the designs of these bags. My Landscapes series is inspired by the lines, textures and colors found in various landscapes. I’m looking forward to continuing to work on this project.

I’ll be posting more photos from my shoot with over the next few days. The two new bags featured are a part of my series of bags inspired by landscape. These two are inspired by the many desert landscapes I’ve traveled to over the last several years.

The backpack prototype I’ve been working on. Thanks to for the awesome photos.

Work in progress. I’ve been working on a couple of new bag designs for an upcoming project. Stay tuned for photos of the completed backpack soon.

I’m excited to announce that I have received an artist grant from the Greater Columbus Arts Council! This grant will fund all of the materials needed for a new line of bags I’m working on. This line of bags is inspired by urban landscape. I’m looking forward to the collaboration with urban landscape photographer@mitch_geiser, who will display his work along side my bags. Stay tuned for the art exhibition where these bags will be released.
