‘This truly unique edition of highly crafted shoulder bags are cut from the fine canvas cloth of a genuine Shane Bradford painting.  The ergonomic interactions we have with our bags, the reaching-in, the weighing-down, the bodily strapping the grabbed handles amount to an extension of our natural selves. A good bag blends with its wearer, it serves its intimate and practical function whilst advertising its master’s superior taste and savoir faire. A bag is a buddy, a mule, and on occasion is the only thing that stands between you and other human beings in close proximity. Yes, it’s a protective barrier, but one to be breached, one to be shown off, and one to collect.’
