I’ve been working diligently on a pattern I can create over and over in the form of a bag.
The Japanese knot bag, often referred to as an “Azuma Bukuro” or “Mochi Bukuro,” is a traditional, eco-friendly bag originating from Japan’s Edo period. It is designed from a single piece of fabric, utilizing a unique construction where one handle is longer than the other to create a secure knot-closure.
Design Origin: The style is believed to have originated from a traditional Japanese drawstring bag known as a kinchaku, used to carry coins, medicines, and small items when wearing a kimono (which lacks pockets).
The best parts of a city aren’t always the best known.
They’re tucked into studios, sketches, and conversations.

I’ve reconnected with my brand, my purpose, and myself. Sometimes you have to pause, reflect, and realign your timeline. Change is powerful, renewal is even better.
There have been wins and failures behind the scenes, but every miss sharpened the craft and elevated the vision. Because of that, I’m clearing the slate.
Everything currently online will be going on sale as I prepare for a full revamp of what I release next. “One-of-one” has become a phrase used too loosely, moving forward, the focus is true quality, intention, and originality in every piece.
