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.

Phantom Ranch Bag 2

Phantom Ranch Bag 2

$220.00

Phantom Ranch Bag 2 has new lining fabric, stitch interpretations and colors. This is a heavy duty hauler with freehand, machine-stitched designs on its shell inspired by the topography and water treatment infrastructure necessary to accommodate modern human habitation at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Made from a pair of black faded jeans somebody abandoned at their dry-cleaner’s, it has brown satin, found upholstery fabric, bright green cracked patterned cotton, and three roomy pockets, including one big enough for a laptop. The long, thick shoulder straps can go over the neck to make a crossbody. There’s a fourth pocket on the outside, with a D-ring for easy key access. There’s only one like it.

16” high x 15” wide x 4.5” deep. Straps 38”.
