A blog dedicated to bags designed by me under the O Hand Bags brand.
Stripes, pockets and a heart tote
This is a big fun tote which you can take to the beach, school or shopping. It has an inner denim pocket (matching the ones used in the front design). It’s fully lined and has a magnetic clip.
Dimensions: 15 ½ in x 14 in (39.5 cm x 35.5 cm) 23 in with handle (58.4 cm)
Hermana (sister)… a messenger bag inspired by sister.
I initially designed this bag for my hermana (sister). She was traveling to Spain and wanted a messenger bag (her favorite style) which could fit the things she carries on a daily bases.
This bag is inspired and dedicated to Ana who passed away during a surgery due to heart failure. I came across Ana’s fabric stash when I responded to a craigslist ad. The process became personal as I heard Ana’s story. Knowing a bit more about her gave each piece of fabric a personal meaning. I came home and next thing I know I am putting these hearts together. I hope they serve to keep Ana’s love for sewing alive.
This is a mid-size comfortable and practical bag. It has two inside pockets and a magnetic snap to keep all items secure.
It’s made of recycled denim (in excellent condition) and it’s lined in with a black poli-cotton mix.
Dimensions: - Top Width: 12 inches (30 cm) - Botton Width: 8 inches (46 cm) - Height: 11 inches (28 cm) - Deep (at the bottom) : 2.5 inches (6 cm) - Shoulder Strap : 27 inches from end to end (69 cm)
Ever since I started designing and sewing my bags, my wife has been my most avid and demanding client. At times, I even wonder if I would ever be able to sell any of my bags since my wife seems to want them all for herself. To be honest, I have to say I have given them away.
I was going through my stash when my wife saw this fabric. She picked it up and placed her “order” right there (it was more like a list of requirements though) ;)
