artificial heart bags

Created from salvaged materials, hand stitched and embroidered in Houston, TX with two awesome and mighty Brother embroidery machines. Each bag is an entirely unique work of wearable art, layered with ideas and impressions, imprinted with the history of the material from which it’s made. The collection changes regularly, according to what fabric I find.

Permian Basin Bag

Permian Basin Bag

$300.00

Made to carry a 13-inch laptop and more, it has 4 pockets (3 interior, plus a zipper pocket in the flap), antiqued brass lobster clasps and lots of eye-catching details. The shell is freehand machine stitched top to bottom with topography lines that riff off a topography map I found describing the depths of shale found beneath the Permian Basin in West Texas. My most ambitious bag yet! Check out the matching Permian Basin iPad Case that fits perfectly inside (available separately).

Medium charcoal grey canvas with light grey velvet and red/cream leaf upholstery lining.
14” wide x 10” tall x 3” deep
Strap adjustable to 42” long

NOTE: I have fabric to make other colors/varieties! View the available colors shown in the images, select which combination you prefer, and I will make a messenger bag for you (embroidery designs will also be based on Permian basin topography, but with different details, still as unique as any original drawing would be). Inquire for details on matching tablet cases. Allow 2 weeks for production prior to shipping.
