TheI :) like handbags are born out of love for 20th century painting. The images are not copies, but homages to the works I have appreciated the most. I paint directly on the fabric, without preliminary drawing, trying to pick the inspirations of every artist. I chose to use jute as material, even though it is an irksome material due to the sparse weave and the spinning being stiff and poorly absorbent, to get as close as possible to the idea of raw canvas: a canvas without frame, a small work to be hung on a shoulder and taken for a walk. Every handbag is a unique piece in both image and sewing. The fabric is preemptively washed and the colours are hot fixed. On the inside, the coloured cotton lining contains a double pocket to keep a phone or keys.
