BackStitched Design
Hand-crafted, one-of-a-kind, bags, wallets and purses from repurposed leather, vintage clothing and found hardware.
The Flagey Shoulder Bag was designed for what I, personally, most need in a reliable everyday bag - a zippered pocket on the front, small pockets for my phone, pens, chapstick, etc., dividers to keep things organized, and an adjustable strap.
A twist on the classic small/medium sized purse with a variety of closures and straps. Features include a small interior pocket to keep miscellaneous items organized, and an interior key and/or wallet ring to protect against potential pick pockets.
Named after the famous flea market in Brussels, this tote is a perfect addition to your purse wardrobe. Not too big and not too small, le jeu de balle will carry all your everyday needs as well as any extras you pick up along the way.
Backstitched was born out of a love of second-hand shopping, recycling, repurposing, and creating. It started with an epiphany of sorts after intensely pondering a creative path, and has progressed over the past five years into a union of passions.
The name backstitched is a double entendre. A ‘backstitch’ is first and foremost a stitch at the end of a line of sewing that locks the stitch into place. A common usage of the word is "damn, i forgot to backstitch and now the seams are all coming undone!"
Secondly, backstitched alludes to recycling and repurposing second-hand clothing and textiles to create something new.
