WHAT DROVE ME TO DO IT
Total frustration. I move fast. I live full. I could not find a bag that would support me through my long, intense days. It seemed no designer had made a bag that would allow me to navigate through the day efficiently. My bag is a vessel of essentials that allows me to: grab my phone, reapply my favorite lipstick, reach for an apple slice, hydrate, switch to shades, spritz a hydrosol, pull a contract or iPad out of an easy access EMF/RF protected outer pocket, fetch my favorite pen, dose an adaptogenic tincture, perhaps some B12, and always a square of very good dark chocolate, all completed seamlessly, while negotiating, without digging.
There is a pocket and place for everything. Finally.
WHY YOU NEED IT

I have spent roughly 12 minutes a day rummaging through my old bag,
which lacked proper compartments, searching for: keys, lip balm, glasses, wallet, writing instrument, notebook, devices, tuning fork, magic rock, pendulum, snacks, and drink. This adds up to a whopping 72 precious hours of your life a year. That is the equivalent of 45, 8-hour days over a five year period—over a month and a half of your life, rummaging. Oh my. Over your lifetime there are so many better ways to exert your life force.
​
Time is the one commodity we can’t create more of. Exhibit self love and respect your time. Don’t rummage. Leave your abode prepared. When your ergonomic bag is efficiently streamlined, ergo, your essentials are right where they want them. You are calm, powerful, and truly present in your life.
In ancient Egypt you were buried with your bag. Such a strong personal statement. Clearly not seasonal. Bags show our outer personality while shielding our inner private world. What objects add value to your day? Your evolution of self in the world. Choose wisely.
A tool kit for the future that allows you to be present. Nourish the soul. Live full. The bag is an extension of self.
A container of life. A vessel of necessity.
Finally you can unsnap the cosmic collaged lining and throw it in the wash and smile. A satisfying bag refresh. Clean bag. Clean mind.
Elevate your every day. Utilitarian in its roots, part vintage luggage, with a healthy dose of Mary Poppins.
CHOOSE YOUR VESSEL TYPE
All made to order. Carry your vessel of choice to your car, office, plane, beach or off-the-grid hut.

THE JOY OF GETTING DRESSED
FEEL EXUBERANT​
getting dressed is a joy
How do you protect yourself from the elements physically?
Selecting proportions, tone, and textures that compliment your body, all the while projecting your spirit and your story.
Showing how you perceive yourself through outer adornment...
sharing your vision/version of yourself with the world
share your story
What we put on our bodies every day is sacred. The fabric that breathes and melds with your skin...the colors that communicate with our chakras pulsing in your aura...
The talisman and accessories that give us protection and inner strength...
our most intimate story...
strong pieces
Your spirit infused in the way you wear it
Individual expression
no one else will wear it just like you
​
Your thoughts are part of the collective consciousness
we hold for the planet and all of its inhabitants
​
the earth walk is a challenge...
The human brain only has so much capacity for decision making every day...
I keep my dressing simple, powerful, and meaningful to me and leave the
rest of my brain power for the big stuff I tackle
Every day you/we are all participating in co-creating OUR world
​
Please...
dress like you mean it
participate in right thought, right word, right action or deed
align...
engage in right relationship with all things in your life...
and...reconnect with the joy of dressing
​
and...
​
reconnect with the joy of dressing
I am personally very into socks...yes socks...
it is for me...no one can see them...part baseball magic superstition on
wearing that lucky pair...
part child like whimsy so I never get too serious...
I take stock in my daily sock choice...it ranges from
stacks of pancakes...
buzzing bees...
hexagons...
hummingbirds...
to skeletons playing guitar...
or my favorite day of the dead socks...
My socks are always fun..the inner playful child always present...
tickling my toes...
And no I haven’t designed socks yet


WHY IT'S DIFFERENT

FUNCTIONAL ART. MADE IN AMERICA. ILLUMINATE THROUGH DIVINE DESIGN
If I can’t take my bag on a trip, and use it as a foot rest, jam it into an overhead, smoosh in a car, and have to worry about it getting scratched or losing it’s sheen--I don’t want it. Nothing too precious in life. These bags age, and their patina gets better in time, just like us. Savor the marks of a passionate life dedicated to change. We embrace our challenges, for they are moments of acute growth and rebirth. Shed the old skin and keep expanding. At a deeper level the desire to logo flaunt exemplifies separation and exclusivity--the antithesis of what this planet needs. Strength comes from living on purpose and being passionate about things outside of yourself. You do not care what other people think. Being fervently truthful at all times, no gray areas or exceptions. Consciously choosing what we bring into our homes, put in, and on our bodies will change the future. Simplify. The notion of needing a new bag every season is ludicrous. Functional art you can feel good about. Use your buying power for good. Environmentally balanced commerce. This is a way of being. Who do you want to be? How do you want to contribute? Rewrite your story. Make it amazing. The planet and its people thank you.

PROPORTIONS
Sacred geometry...the golden ratio...there is a reason for every measurement in every bag belt and talisman ...nothing is haphazard or whimsical...or of the season...it is all designed with a reason...every creation is enduring in its measurements...precise...which is why the shapes translate...male...female...petite or robust...the body is complemented by a symphony of well orchestrated math...the wearer knows intuitively...the shapes are right...

WILD AMERICAN ALLIGATOR
Wild American Alligators with all of their wounds from life on Earth intact. We are all flawed. Let’s celebrate our imperfections - mine, yours and the gators’. All of our styles honor one gator and one gator hunter per bag. The skins are hand patinaed, by one artisan, with saturated colors that took years to develop to make it just so.

FABRIC
The fabric is a blend of two types of threads. One is made from recycled plastic bottles found in the ocean and the other is 100% US grown organic cotton. We have created a one-of-a-kind, durable, and sustainable fabric. Our custom fabric is emblazoned with enduring collage art through a non-toxic dyeing process.

EMF / RF PROTECTIVE LINING
EMF/RF protective lining sewn strategically in phone and tablet pockets to lessen exposure and protect your organs and energy field. To encourage mindful use of devices and to be present in their lives.

BESPOKE HARDWARE
Upcyled, non toxic brass and bronze hardware. Functional art in and of itself. Revel in the strength and texture. Many years in the making. Each piece individually crafted and hand finished. Glorious and unique. A pleasure to touch. An absolute labor
of love.
D-rings: honor sacred geometry.
Rivets: contain modern hand-drawn art inspired
by ancient symbols.
Feet: deliberately designed to have enough height and gusto to physically lift your bag off the ground so it doesn’t touch and collect germs. Finally a foot that protects your bag.
Rods: lightweight brass, no plastic with super strong magnetic and textured hand-cast ends

HEMP ROPE HANDLES
I analyzed the ideal grip. Ergonomic based on the width of kettle ball Olympians. No anemic handles here.
​
Grip with gusto.
THE ART EXPLAINED

Beyond spoken words...symbols are universal...they enrich our lives and
are linked to our evolutionary story...
An ancient method of expression...perhaps more profound than
words themselves...
Symbols are not confined or bound by the written definitions man
has ascribed to them...
Symbols journey beyond the written word into the non linear world of the spirit and soul...far reaching and primal in an ever expanding story to be told...with our intimate and very personal characterization of our version of them infused...
How do we engage with the symbols...
Symbols unite... empower... and at times can define us
Symbols differentiate us from other animals...humans need for meaning...
our relationship and interconnectedness with all things in the natural world...
before the written word...
our bridge between the physical
and the spiritual
Intertwined with all of human existence...embedded in our psyche
Tribal and mystical in its roots...
metaphorical wisdom through combinations of images
We are always telling stories through our shelter, food and clothing.
symbols are not static.
Let us as a united culture of humans, perpetuate our ancient wisdom and choose symbols that create a story of
right relationship with all things...
our planet ourselves...
all other beings...and the life force that exists...it’s symbiotic...
a mirror of where we are now... and where we can collectively go...
Right thoughts right words right actions...let our symbols remind us...empower us to create the stories we are proud of 10,000 years from now...
we are all illuminating through divine design.
