Edith and Owen

Tomorrow Nik and I leave for London and Scotland. I can’t wait to eat many full English breakfasts, march around Loch Lomond in my new hiking shoes, and of course check out what handbags the locals are sporting.

I can’t believe I have a clear workspace! It feels good to leave a clean and empty room behind for I plan on creating a collection of bags upon my return. During this trip I will be considering color, form, and design for my next projects. Finding inspiration shouldn’t be difficult in London.

Our cat Fiona (Edith+Owen’s official mascot) isn’t sure what to make of all the packing that has been going on. I am going to miss her and her single white whisker.

Here are some pictures of my most recent recycled leather large bag design. It is made from a vintage purple leather jacket and lined with re-purposed navy and mustard canvas. Nik and I experimented with taking a few pictures on our fire escape. These are the first shots we have tried with a model.

I need to round up a few foxy friends for our next photo-shoot.

Any volunteers?

Welcome

Edith+Owen is celebrating the completion of our first fifteen eco-chic handbags. Turns out it’s time to start a bag blog.

Team

Edith+Owen exists because of three people. I design and create handbags from recycled leather and reclaimed fabrics. Matt and Nik of Plumb Media maintain the website and have developed our spiffy identity package.

What We’ve Been Up To

Check out our photos to see the freshest Edith+Owen fashions. So far we have three styles:

• The small bag that is great for evenings or storing inside a larger bag.
• The medium shoulder bag that holds everything from Powerbars and wallets to mints and make-up.
• The large tote bag for the woman with lots to carry or just plenty of work to do.
