We often say the things we love should stay close to us - tucked into the corners of our homes, framed on a wall, kept safe in a drawer. But what if the face you miss most could travel with you? What if it lived in the bag that holds your keys, your phone, the small proofs of your everyday life?
There is a peace that comes when we slow down. When we sit for a long moment with a face we loved, one whose arms we can no longer fall into. When we stop guarding our own tenderness at the door and let ourselves be whole again, even with all the missing pieces. When we let go, gently, of what we can no longer hold. When we choose ourselves once more - not instead of them, but because of them.
This is the quiet idea behind my photo transfer leather bags. Any photograph dear to you - a parent, a grandparent, a childhood self, a beloved pet - can be transferred by hand onto natural vegetable-tanned leather and carried into a one-of-a-kind bag, made just for you.
It is not about forgetting. It is about carrying love differently: openly, gently, every single day. Because sometimes home isn't a place. Sometimes home is something you can hold in your hand and take with you wherever you go.
A few photo transfer bags, already made, are in the studio right now.
Want to turn a photograph you treasure into a leather bag of your own? Write to me. I would love to help you carry it.
