AirriA

👋 Long time no see. A have a couple of zipcases and a new clutch that will be uploaded on my Etsy soon… or whenever I get to it I guess. Also the Etsy shop in question needs a major update, so does my website and my socials. I’m bringing back AirriA from the 💀 ⚰️. I question myself if it’s worth it, but a recent interaction with a new AirriA girl brought back a spark in my creative nature. So we shall see what’s gonna happen. Stick around, or don’t- I’m not the boss of you 😁

This is AirriA Bae. A paper purse made with ripped pages from
Black hearts on text. Turned out pretty cool… that’s it! Thanks! Oh yeah, like this post and shere it with friends, tell them it’s your good deed for the day 😅

While I focus on being a mother, a wife and an office manager, the AirriA girls pop up in my DMs with lovely photos with their purses. By doing so, they rekindle the AirriA flame in me. I wish I had more time and energy to carry on creating. That and the fact that taping paper is not a quiet task… I will make it work, but I can’t give you a timeframe as to when.

Looking for inspiration waaayy back in AirriA’s roots. This was the very first bag I sold in 2020. What is currently in the making is inspired by this black and white text shoulder bag! I haven’t used text like that in a long time. I remember why I liked it- it really shows what the bags are made of. That always seems to be the question. Paper, they are made out of paper.

Drop me a comment. Have you been following me from the beginning? Then you might remember what the bottoms used to look like before I figured out how to sew them like this? They were definitely flat bottoms, now they are scrumptious 😜

AirriA girls for the win! Have I ever said I love it when you send me photos that show your love and appreciation for my art! I think I have! Thank you so much!
I am soon going back to creating

Hello! I have been absent, but I think I have a pretty good reason why. I had a baby girl! Born on leap day!
The zip case you see I created for the amazing midwife Bjarni Thomas, who helped me deliver my darling Zoey. Bjarni is such a professional, breathing confidence in me throughout my whole pregnancy, thus empowering me to deliver naturally and unmedicated! I like to call her the Wonder Woman of catching babies and I am just gonna leave it at that!

Speak now or forever hold your silence if you want this AirriA one-of-one clutch, because it’s destined to pretty up shop shelves!
Yes! I am very excited to say that I am honored to be a creator at this lovely gift shop. It is a place that exclusively has stocked up its shelves with carefully curated Maine artisans. Very soon I will be sending them all of my inventory, so if had your eye on an AirriA piece, place your order on Etsy today, because tomorrow might be too late!
Exciting times are up ahead for me, but rest assured I will always show you first what I create!

Allow me to officially introduce the all new AirriA handbag model!
Featuring for the very first time a handle that is attached to the bag and made from the same material!
The shape and size is also new for the AirriA design fam.
If you have been following this creation from the beginning, you know it all started as a challenge.
I challenged myself not to pick the color of each individual square. I bulk cut from the same magazine. Then I challenged myself to come up with a whole new design. And honestly, I have to pat myself on the back with this one. Not only did I allow myself to go with the flow as far as color choices, but I also came up with a pretty cute shape for a purse!
Well, tell me what you think and are you willing to see this model in colors I actually pick?
