This is a great unisex bag for shopping, crafted from heavy duty canvas with a wide side gusset to hold all your goods. Strong enough to carry bottles and soft enough for your fruit & veg. Hand-dyed with Indigo for a timelessly cool vibe. 😎

New Year ▶️ New Directions.
Times are rapidly changing and the urge to break from routines of a past era & change up the rhythm feels more meaningful than ever. Shifts in your lifestyle can act as catalysts for creative exploration.
Having hand dyed and photographed thousands of Shibori Textiles for the past 10 years I'm excited to offer a collection of these designs in a new mediums. Suddenly it feels like the right thing to do.
With the help of the brilliant Japanese artist and graphic designer I've been working on transforming some of the most interesting images to create a collection of digital art files. These will soon be ready for you to order and print in a size and medium of your choice, be it art paper to frame, or on canvas. L
Would love to know what creative ventures you are cooking up in your world for 2026 💙

🔊 Great News!!
We have resumed shipping to the USA thanks to partnering with as a reliable, automated solution to handle duties and taxes. With tariffs changing fast Zonos calculates the total cost at checkout, and collects it upfront, so the shopper has no unexpected fees.
We still have some beautiful hand dyed pieces in the shop at half price ready to shop, so check the Australia Post website for Christmas cut-off dates. Plenty of time to ship within Australia, however standard shipping to the US cuts off 11/12. Express to the US 15/12.
